Three 11-year-old boys miraculously escaped serious injury after a BMW crashed into a chicken shop on Sydney's northern beaches on Sunday afternoon. The incident occurred at Wicked Chicken in Allambie Heights, where the boys were eating hot chips.
Shocking Moment Captured on Video
Exclusive vision obtained by 7NEWS shows the moment the car accelerated full throttle into the shopfront. The driver's son had left the passenger door open, and as the man reached over to close it, his foot caught the accelerator, sending the vehicle careering into the store.
The dramatic footage shows one boy being thrown into the air, another turned upside down, and a third trapped underneath the car. Bystanders and the driver rushed to help, managing to free the child trapped beneath the vehicle. His friend was left panicked and in shock.
Injuries and Aftermath
Paramedics transported one boy to Sydney Children's Hospital with leg injuries. He was discharged on Sunday night. The talented junior cricketer will be sidelined for a while as he recovers. The other two boys escaped without serious physical harm.
Wicked Chicken remained closed all Monday as the owner cleaned up after the crash. Police say it's unlikely any further action will be taken against the driver.
