First date ends in flames after driver hits parked car

A first date has ended in flames after an alleged drunk driver crashed his date's car into a parked vehicle, causing it to burst into flames.

The 23-year-old woman and 26-year-old man were on a first date in Revesby, in Sydney's south-west, when the man crashed his date's Audi SUV into a parked Mazda 3.

The pair managed to escape as the car burst into flames about 10.30pm last night.

Witnesses said they saw the driver "stumbling" out of the car as they rushed out after hearing the crash.

"We heard a large bang while we were watching TV and then we came out and there were fumes everywhere," Robyn Hancock said.

Police arrested the 26-year-old and took him for a blood alcohol test, the results of which are still pending.

The woman, who lives on the street, told neighbours she had met the man that day.

Her Audi SUV was burnt out in the crash but she and her date were uninjured.
