Passing visitor

Late last night we had an unwanted & passing visitor at the lodge. We are not sure who it was as all we heard was this loud bang - like a big shunt really. Ali & I rushed outside to se what had happened - we thought may be a car had hit something and we may have been able to help - what we found was amazing with trees and branches everywhere.

Someone had come inside the power pole in picture 1, hit the fence a couple of times and taken out trees and bush etc along the way in picture 2 and last but not least taken out the Mako road sign and carried on
down Seaforth Rd - sorry it should be grass verge - and narrowly missing the power pole a house away.To come inside the power pole when you are sober would be a big ask and you would need a small car!

The driver is very lucky to be alive( we are assuming he/she may have been a little under the weather) and not injured - again a bit of a leap of faith but we don't know so we are giving them the benefit of the doubt - we know the car will be badly scratched and missing an indicator light and who knows what else!
