Classic car lovers winced at the sight of a 1970’s era Mazda RX3 Rotary in a crumpled condition after rolling multiple times along Pacific Esplanade in Slade Point last Sunday afternoon.
Queensland Ambulance reported that two stable patients were transported to Mackay Hospital after a single-vehicle rollover on Pacific Esplanade at 2.51 pm.
A packed Seabreeze Hotel meant there were plenty of onlookers who saw the incident unfold, with one witness saying the driver had made a purchase at the Seabreeze before driving onto Pacific Esplanade.
“The driver was revving the car as he drove from the Seabreeze, hit the curb and rolled at least three times,” the witness said.
A Slade Point local said it was a regular occurrence to see cars driving at speed, treating Pacific Esplanade like a drag strip.
“It was only a matter of time,” they added.
