Article from: AAP

"A 20-YEAR-OLD P-plater has died after his car crashed into a brick wall in the NSW southern highlands.
Police said the man's 1996-model Ford Falcon was travelling south on Bowral Road at Mittagong at 2.45am (AEST) today when it left the road and hit a wall.

The 20-year-old driver suffered head injuries and died at the scene.

He was the only person in the car at the time of the crash and no other vehicles were involved"


Lets just hope it isn't anyone from here....

Judging by the time of the accident, could have possibly fallen asleep at the wheel.

Shocking bit of reality that unfortunately is happening too often lately. Not good to hear.

Yeah, it's all to possible he had a snooze at the wheel. My cousin did this in an old Magna, he's lucky he copped the bushes on the side of the road, and not something or someone else.

The Pub on Australian Ford Forums has a thread which may give a bit more insight to this. The thread is XR6T's now with brick penetrating abilities.
