Police rescued a couple from a burning vehicle after they lost control attempting a burn out in Frankston last night.
The car skidded into an embankment and burst into flames after speeding out of a McDonald’s driveway in Richardson road at over 100 kilometers an hour.
Two detectives who were on patrol on Richardson road witnessed the incident and rescued the couple immediately. Jim Allan, 23, suffered burns to his legs and torso and is now in a stable condition at The Alfred Hospital. His girl friend Rachel Williams, 23, escaped without injury.
“I’m just glad Jim is ok. It was just a silly stunt that went too far and it could have ended really badly,” said Rachel Williams.
This incident is the fifth car accident involving stunt or drag racing in Frankston in the past year.
“Police are sick of having to deal with drivers who think it is fun to put other motorists’ lives in danger. Innocent people get hurt and police and ambulance have to pick up the pieces,” Detective Senior Sergeant Mark Carter said.
Police Commissioner Simon Overland appreciated the two detectives for their bravery.
