THE peace and quiet for beach goers at Nambucca Heads’ V-Wall was shattered when a car crashed into rocks at around 8.30am Monday morning.

“I was in the water (at the V Wall) and there was a noise like an explosion,” witness Robert Bond told NOTA.

“Nobody appeared to be hurt but the Asian couple (driving the vehicle) were very shaken up,” he said.

The MG car ended up balancing on a rock and could not be easily removed.

Mr Bond said he believed the car was a rental car and he noted the rather apt message painted on rocks under the vehicle’s resting place: “Keep calm and tell the truth!”.

By midday, the vehicle still had not been removed and police were on the scene.

“I don’t know how they are going to get it off there,” a staff member at the overlooking V Wall Pavillion told NOTA at around 12pm on Monday.

“I’m not sure if they can drag it,” she said.

A spokesperson for NSW Police told NOTA, “It appears the driver accidentally hit the accelerator rather than the brake.

“No injuries were reported and the driver had a negative alcohol and drug test report.”

Police confirmed that the car will be removed and further police involvement in the incident is not expected.
