A man has been taken to hospital after allegedly crashing his vehicle into a rank of parked cars on the Gold Coast overnight.

Police said five cars were involved in the crash on Cottesloe Dr at Robina about 7.40pm.

A man in his 40s was taken by ambulance to Gold Coast University Hospital.

Posting on Facebook, Robina-based Gold Coast City councillor Hermann Vorster described the crash scene as “terrible”, with local residents commenting on the “carnage”.

“We drove by on our way home from dinner and saw smashed cars, glass everywhere, many trees down but people standing around seemed okay,” one local wrote.

Another posted: “Looks like you have lost at least 8 trees – we just drove past and there is crap everywhere still even after the cars are gone.

“Would love to know what actually happened – read so many versions.”

One resident said a ute going up Cottesloe Drive had veered into the median strip, “wiped out” the trees then veered left and back onto the road.

“(It then) smashed into the rear of a parked SUV, spun it around then veered to the right across the meridian strip opposite Peermont street across Cottesloe Drive into a parked car and pushed the parked car into another parked car.

“That’s about it. Lots of carnage and debris including four or five trees.”

Police investigations are continuing.
