A witness to the aftermath said one of the cars appeared to be "jacked up" by a roadwork sign it ran over during the accident.

Photos show the front of the vehicle suspended in mid-air, within a couple of metres of a shop's front window. The car appeared to be badly damaged.

The other car sat on the street in a slightly better condition.
