There were no hard feelings from a Dunedin homeowner who offered a ride home to a young woman driver whose car became stuck in their concrete fence. Her car shot backwards and smashed through her friend’s neighbour’s concrete fence before coming to rest against their house. She tried to move her car, but became stuck in an un-smashed part of their concrete fence. She took a right-hand bend in Portobello Rd too quickly and lost traction, Sgt Lee said. Alcohol was not a factor in the crash, Sgt Lee said.
