Police told 1 NEWS that they were called after a car was seen speeding down the wrong side of Karamu Road, and they were unable to stop it in the early hours of this morning.
The car sped down Kenliworth Road and flipped mid-air after hitting the gravel base of the train tracks, crashing into the pile of fruit boxes about 10 meters in the air.
Police said they were not pursuing him at the time.
Neighbor Kristy Hall woke up to the sound of the car racing down her street, moments before it crashed.
“It was definitely extraordinary,” he says.
“As he ran past our house, it was clear to me that he was going too fast for a cul-de-sac and before I could get out of bed, the sound of the car hitting the boxes confirmed what I expected to happen.”
New Zealand Fire and Emergencies were called in to help remove the man from his wrecked car and take him to hospital.
Investigations into the circumstances surrounding the incident are ongoing.
