Dashcam footage captures bizarre wedding burnouts on blocked off roundabout
Dashcam footage has emerged of wedding guests blocking off traffic on a roundabout in Sydney’s west to film two utes and a motorbike doing burnouts in a haze of smoke.
Police are investigating after wild footage from a “hectic wedding” in western Sydney showed men and woman flouting road rules by doing burnouts on a closed street.
The video, posted on the Dash Cam Owners Australia Facebook page, showed a vehicle pulling up to a roundabout at Merrylands where a group of people dressed in formal attire gathered to watch.
A person with a video camera is standing in the middle of the intersection filming a red ute and blue ute spin around the roundabout causing a haze of smoke.

The person who recorded the footage is stopped by a woman at the roundabout before a man wearing a suit riding a motorbike does a burnout in front of a crowd filming the show on their phones.
Black tyre marks scar the road and the roundabout while white wedding decorations can be seen at a home nearby. The footage has been shared 450 times and been “liked” more than 2000 times.
A police spokeswoman told The Daily Telegraph they were investigating.
“Police are aware of a video posted online and officers attached to Strike Force Puma are investigating,” she said.
This is not the first time a Merrylands street has been shut down by wedding celebrations. Former Auburn deputy mayor Salim Mehajer caused a stir after his lavish wedding included four helicopters, a fleet of stretch limousines, Ferraris and Lamborghinis.
Mr Mehajer wreaked traffic chaos by illegally closing down an entire street. In a letter written to the residents of France St, he warned the street would be shut for an event and any car left on it would be towed at their expensive — despite not having permission to do so.
