Matthew Millar started reversing when dirt slipped onto the road dislodging a tree which fell onto his car. It was the first thing Tony Millar said to his son, Matthew, after a tree smashed into their car, spinning it around, and pushing it into the kerb. It's amazing how much you can think in that short amount of time," Mr Millar said. "We were actually getting out of the car probably as the car was still slightly moving coming to a stop because it's just panic," Mr Millar said. Other than a few scratches on Matthew, Mr Millar said they were unscathed.
