At around 3:25pm, a black Toyota sports car slammed into Lyn Poulter’s two-week old Honda Jazz, sending her into a spin at the intersection of Butler and Beardy St.

“He came from the other side straight through (the intersection) and never even slowed down,” Mrs Poulter, a local Camp Quality volunteer, told The Express.

“I tried to swerve to miss him but he clipped the back door of my car and sent me into a spin.

“I spun right round and ended up facing the other direction, in the gutter on the the other side.”

The children’s cancer volunteer broke her rib and suffered whiplash to her neck and shoulder.  

“I was in a lot of pain,” she said.

After the crash, the driver of the sports car pulled up “about three houses down” from the intersection and walked up to Mrs Poulter.

“He said ‘I’m so sorry, I didn’t even see you, the other car came through the give way sign so I thought that I was right to go’,” she said.

“He said he was in a hurry to get ‘the baby some milk’ and then he said he’d go and turn his car off.

“Then he went back to his car and drove off.”

Mrs Poulter was rushed to Armidale Hospital for mandatory testing and released later that night.

“Police believe the male is between 25 to 30 years old and possibly of Mediterranean appearance,” New England Inspector Chris McKinnon said.

“I was just flabbergasted that even though I was hurt he just drove off,” Mrs Poulter said.

The incident is the second crash the Armidale resident has had in the past five months.

“I was coming back from Camp Quality and lost control of my car on the Grafton Rd,” she said.

“I went along an embankment, knocked down a tree and went off that airborne.

“I knocked down three trees and ended up in a gully. I don’t know how I walked away from that accident.

“When I saw the trees coming I thought, ‘I’m dead’.”
