Shane, who would only be known by his first name, said he lived across the road from the corner for about four years before moving down the road a few years ago.
In that time people often lost control of their cars on that corner, he said.
"I"ve seen a few accidents but nothing where they've gone right in."
Shane said a metal safety barrier had recently been installed.
"Since that happened, we haven't had many crashes - until now. It's pretty unreal."
