The station wagon has continued straight across the intersection, colliding with a traffic signal before mounting a kerb and becoming airborne for a distance of almost 16 metres.

The vehicle has landed in an earth bank and struck a tree before coming to rest.

The 29-year-old man was transported to hospital with serious, but not life-threatening injuries.

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