Shocked bystanders watched as a rental car flipped on its back while travelling down Knatchbull Road in Camberwell.
The rental Zipcar overturned at the junction with Lilford Road, crushing its roof and shattering glass across the pavement, at around 5pm on Saturday, April 29.
Police said there were no reports of any serious injuries and no arrests.
The incident appears to have involved at least two vehicles.
One car’s front bumper was torn off and its back window smashed. Another car had scrapes along its side.
One resident said they heard a “big bang” before they rushed outside and witnessed the devastation.
Police temporarily blocked off Knatchbull Road between Penford Street and Lilford Road.
