Witnessed a car hit by a truck - Adelaide Road

Caroline from Island Bay

A complete idiot was driving his truck between parked cars and the line of stationary traffic and scraped the side of a car, taking off the bumper.

This happened near the bottom of Adelaide Road, by King Street at 16:40 today. Lots of witnesses. The car hit was white, unsure of model, the registration plate was (I think) LNY111. The truck’s reg plate was FJR823. I took photos and reported it to the police. Hopefully the owner of the white car can see some justice done!

Re-posting this as I am still on the hunt- Talk to your neighbours, parents and friends.
Hello Wellington!
I am a struggling millennial (not a trust fund baby nor an estate agent) who has finally saved up enough to buy a property up to the value of $400,000.
I am putting the feelers out to see if there is anyone out there who would be interested in selling their home privately to me, within Wellington or Lower Hutt. I am not super fussy going in as an entry level buyer but do have the follow prerequisites:
- Preferably a unit or house with enough room for a dog.
- Either 1 bedroom with an office/studio or two bedrooms.
- Close to public transport- saving the planet one less car at a time.
If you have been thinking of selling your property but didn't want the hassle of open homes whilst paying huge amounts to real estate agents please send me a message.
Thanks Wellies.
