Horror as car tears through two-storey Brisbane home while tenant inside

Detailed summary

A car has ploughed into a two-storey Brisbane home after a three-vehicle crash, tearing part of the building apart - while a tenant was inside.

Wild scenes have unfolded after a car smashed into a two-storey home in Brisbane’s northern suburbs, tearing the front of the building apart - while someone was inside.

Emergency services were called to Trouts Rd in Stafford Heights about 11am on Saturday after reports of a Subaru Forester had crashed into a home.

A Queensland Ambulance Service spokesperson said two patients were taken to hospital in a stable condition following a three-vehicle collision.

“An adult male who experienced a medical episode was transported to Royal Brisbane Hospital,” the spokesperson said.

“A mid-teenage male with neck injuries was transported to Prince Charles Hospital.”

Photos posted to social media from the scene show a car wedged in the wall of a two-storey home and a second vehicle with significant front end damage.

One woman said on Facebook that she was “going through at the time, narrowly missed by the car flooring it through opposite side of traffic. I hope everyone is ok.”

“So many people speed through this area!” another wrote on social media.

Another comment said: “doesn’t surprise me. The amount of drivers who speed through that round about without care or checking if other vehicles are about or are going around it.”
