In search of a bingled white Toyota ute

Probably the driver has no licence was on drugs/alcohol, so it was likely they didnt want to stop because they’d face jail.

Jail? In the ACT? I didn’t know gooterz had started a comedy career.

I did say face jail, maybe they just don’t like getting dressed up?

Moral in this story is never drive in the valley after dark. Even money it will end badly.

Thank you Jessica Fletcher.
And that folks wraps up another episode of Murder She Wrote.

Marcus probably matched location and time described in my OP?

Marcus can you clarify where you saw the ute and which direction it was heading?

The time and location matched perfectly, so much so that I deliberately checked this site in the morning to see if that acco which I passed, had anything to do with an old ute which I saw moments before..

He pulled up next to me at the intersection of Drakeford and Athlon (we were at the Reds on Drakeford heading south bound). Before he even dropped a burnout through the Red light, I thought he was Idiot – I had just gone through a yellow light at the intersection before (Drakeford and Ohallaran) and he was waaaay behind me and still went through..

Pitty it wasn’t the red light/speed camera the lights 1-2 before then. But might be worth checking if the cops have a shot if he went though there with speed.

Toyota approaching lights at warp factor as two cars ahead of it were just pulling away on green. Tried to squeeze through between the two, side-swiped one and rear-ended the other forcing it into a spin.

Vehicle was possibly a 4wd and I think not a crew cab. Hard to tell given how little time it was in view and by the time I pulled over it would have been 50+ metres away.

There are probably heaps of vehicles in Canberra that fit this vague description, but considerably fewer with a crunched bonnet and scrapings of black (front impact) and gold (side swipe) duco from the other cars.

How exactly did this Toyota cause this accident?

You will need a better description than that, what you describe narrows it down to about a 20 year model range. 2WD, 4WD, single cab, dual cab, extra cab, bull bar, wide wheels??

Marcus, how do you know its the same ute?

It was definitely the same POS ute (really old model, rust, panels didn’t match and ladder racks, douche in a Red Hoodie) pulls up next to me while we were on a Red – Stops then starts trying to drop a burnout across the intersection while cars are approaching.. I just thought WTF? 2 sets of lights down I see the acco and ppl already stopped to help..
