Emergency services were called to the intersection of Beaudesert and Granard Roads in Rocklea at about 6:30pm yesterday, following reports a hatchback had become airborne and struck a Brisbane City Council bus.

The driver of the car was taken to hospital in shock. The bus driver was not hurt.

A Brisbane City Council spokeswoman confirmed there were no passengers on the bus at the time.

How odd. I know that intersection well. It’s a level multi-lane (both roads) intersection, with well designed left-turn filtering lanes. The main intersection is controlled by traffic lights. I can’t for the life of me understand how a car would become airborne at it.

Equally odd, an anecdote from my past. At the time, I was about 15 and walking down the main street in the early evening. At a point where a cross street ran, walking across this street on a quiet evening I heard a bang and immediately obvserved an FC Holden going upside down above me. Yes it flew right over my head and end over ended down the road. Colour me shocked. It had clipped another car as it came over the main drag and got flipped. Luckily for me I can actually tell the tale.
