Smashed up in Sunshine North

Police had to do a double-take after watching a car drive past them missing half its front end in Sunshine North.

Officers were on patrol when a 2022 Hyundai Palisade drove past them on McIntyre Road about 3.30pm on Saturday.

It wasn’t the 41-year-old woman’s driving that drew their attention, but the fact that it had no windscreen, back window, or panels to cover its engine.

The Brighton woman had already been issued with a defect notice by police on Wednesday, warned it was unsafe and not to drive it.

She was issued with another fine, this time for using a light vehicle in breach of a major defect notice which will cost her $740 plus earning herself three demerit points.
