Barton taxi smash

28 July 2013 | johnboy

ACT Policing’s Collision Investigation and Reconstruction team are investigating the cause of a collision between a taxi and a car in Barton last night (Saturday, July 27).

At about 11pm last night, a silver Toyota Hiace taxi was approaching the intersection of Morshead Drive and Russell Drive, westbound when it collided with a white Ford Falcon sedan also travelling westbound.

The impact caused the driver of the taxi to lose control of the vehicle before it veered across a centre median island and struck a street light pole.

A 24-year-old female passenger has been taken to The Canberra Hospital where she remains in a critical condition.

Anyone who may have witnessed the collision and who has not yet spoken with police, is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

I concur.

And scuttlebutt is suggesting the silver hiace was a Queanbeyan taxi.

I’ll also stand corrected but that intersection is not in Barton, it’s Campbell…
