A bizarre accident in Guildford on Friday morning saw an unoccupied utility vehicle plough through a fence and into a residential garden after being struck by a sedan.
The incident occurred around 7:30 am on May 22, 2026, when a sedan collided with the parked ute, causing it to career through the fence and come to rest among shrubs and plants.
Emergency services attended the scene, but no injuries were reported. The driver of the sedan remained at the site and is assisting police with inquiries.
Local residents expressed shock at the damage, with the fence destroyed and garden plants uprooted. One neighbour described hearing a loud crash followed by the sound of breaking timber.
Police have cordoned off the area while they investigate the circumstances of the crash. They are appealing for any witnesses to come forward.
The property owner, who was not home at the time, has been notified of the damage. It is understood insurance claims will be lodged for the repairs.
This incident serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of road accidents and the importance of safe parking practices.
