During the incident, the second car was propelled toward the junction of Worcester Street, while the first car continued to drive and crashed into two parked vehicles. Both were unattended at the time.

The driver of the second vehicle was rushed to hospital with serious and potentially life-threatening injuries.

The driver of the first vehicle, a 33-year-old man, is also in hospital receiving treatment for what are believed to be superficial injuries.

Police are now appealing to anyone who many have witnessed the incident or have dashcam or doorbell footage.
