“I’ll tell you what, it was the loudest noise I have ever heard,” she said.

“We are a little bit down the road from the crash and we were sitting inside with the aircondition going but we heard this loud noise, like a bomb went off.

“I thought, because it was so hot, something exploded, like a drum of fuel.

“I didn’t go right up there but I could see what looked like car and a rubbish truck,

“The car had its whole front gone.”
