Watch the heart-stopping moment a clever cat cheats death by blindly sensing a runaway car
A lucky cat has all of his nine lives firmly intact after seemingly using eyes in the back of his head to sense danger just seconds before a car crashed into a Sydney home. On Sunday, an out-of-control car ploughed through a property on Nottinghill Road in the inner city suburb of Berala about 5pm. Footage shows the feline Wah Wah sitting in his bed facing towards the camera and away from the oncoming vehicle. Moments before the car crashes into the property, the cat's animal instincts kicked in and he leapt from his bed despite not turning around to see the vehicle at any point. The owners of the property rushed out after hearing a 'very big bang'. 'We heard a loud sound and just saw a car crash into our front yard,' resident Cindy said. The car narrowly missed the family's pet as it veered off the road, turned on its side and crashed into the property. After the crash, the owners of the home could be seen inspecting the damage as the car remained wedged against the house. The feline appeared to have eyes in the back of his head as he leapt from danger just moments before a car crashed into the property (pictured) Emergency services arrived at the scene to free the female driver, 41, who had become trapped in the wreckage. Homeowners have been left with thousands of dollars worth of damage following the crash. The driver smashed into multiple cars and homes before driving into the cat owner's property. She was the only one in the vehicle at the time of the crash and was the only injured party. The 41-year-old was taken to hospital and the destroyed car was later towed from the home. Resident Peter Guo said he was shocked by the collision but thankful there were no fatalities. 'No big injury, nobody died. It's lucky,' he said.

Mobility scooters face shopping centre speed limit in Sutton-in-Ashfield
New speed limit signs for mobility signs have been placed in a shopping centre - and they are already making a "significant difference".Idlewells Shopping Centre in Sutton-in-Ashfield, Nottinghamshire, placed notices on its entrance doors in May aiming to improve the safety of serve as a reminder of national government guidance which states mobility scooters must not exceed 4mph (6.4kmh) on pavements or 8mph (12.8kmh) on Truscott, centre manager, insisted there was "definitely not" going to be any speed guns, but so far mobility scooter owners had been adhering to the signs. Residents in the town have welcomed the idea, describing it as a "funny and strange" one. Katy Draycott, 29, said: "I'd never really think of the concept myself. It's quite funny, isn't it?"When you walk out of a shop you kind of have to look both ways, like crossing a road, which is an experience in itself, so [the signs are] quite good."Linda Hague, 64, has said some mobility scooters need to "cool it a little bit" as they drive around the town said "some" people could be quite inconsiderate."When you're walking around the town centre you're dodging them sometimes, not overly, but you do have to dodge them a little bit," she added. Ben Molloy, the manager of Complete Freedom Mobility, a mobility scooter shop in Sutton-in-Ashfield, said the speed limit signs were good for "safety and common sense"."You've got a lot of speed demons flying around who perhaps don't realise how dangerous one of [the scooters] could be if it hits somebody."They've all got a switch to go between the speeds... just use common sense, if it's really busy, turn it down on the speed dial."Mobility scooters with a maximum speed of more than 4mph need to be registered with the DVLA, according to government Truscott said: "We're not trying to be enforcers, we're not trying to clamp down on everything that goes off."But we'd like people to realise that there are things that need to be adhered to and maybe not every mobility scooter owner is aware of the limit in public spaces."
