Crash experts in Rodney say it is a miracle no one was killed in an accident that resulted in a car being torn in half.
The souped-up 1996 Mitsubishi Lancer was being driven at high speed when its driver lost control and hit a power pole.
One half of the car ended up in the middle of the road, the other up against a house where a mother was changing her baby.
Homeowner Derek Gaeth says he heard the car screech across the road.
My wife had just got up to change my son's nappy - so I was semi awake - and I just heard this screech and this smash and then my wife just started yelling, he says.
Mr Gaeth went outside and says he faced a scene of total carnage.
They must have been going 180 plus to hit the power pole, it just snapped the car in two, he says.
He says his biggest surprise came when he walked over to the front end of the car.
I went in there expecting to see someone dead but got in there and nobody there, he says.
Some other guys had chased them down the road, but they lost them, it's just unbelievable.
Mr Gaeth also considers himself extremely lucky.
If that power pole hadn't been there these guys would have been straight smashed into the side of our house, he says.
So Ive never been so grateful for a large power pole.
Mr Gaeth says he is now planning to build a concrete block fence around his property.
