Burger run ends in near-fatal accident with driver trapped in car
A man and his son heading on a burger run turned into a near-death series of accidents in Sydney's west this afternoon.
A 47-year-old man was driving with his 14-year-old son to the McDonald's drive-through in Mt Druitt when he suffered a medical episode.
Instead of making it to the drive-through, the car smashed through a fence, hurtled across a major road, into a nearby Red Rooster carpark on Luxford Street, and smashed into some scaffolding.
