A NSW Police spokesman said there were no other passengers in the car at the time of the incident and the matter would not be pursued.

The perching car was the talk of the suburb as locals made their way to work this morning, a staff member at the nearby chemist told The Daily Telegraph

“I’ve had plenty of customers ask about why it is there, and I have no idea,” she said.

The driver was not injured and escaped with a slightly bruised ego.
