A witness said the mobile home attempted to make it’s way up Davison Street when the driver realised it was a hill too steep to climb. The mobile home was towing a car behind it.
The mobile home driver then attempted to reverse back down the street but that’s when the car that was in tow became detached, flipping over and landing on its side.
A spokesman from the NSW Rural Fire Service said the RFS volunteers were called to attend the car, which had become unhitched from the motorhome.
He said RFS directed traffic while waiting for the tow truck to arrive. Police and NSW Ambulance also attended although no one was injured in the incident.
Davison Street is a common shortcut through Narooma for drivers choosing the Riverside Drive route, but often catches unaware drivers off guard and there have been several accidents.
There is a 3-tonne limit on the street, according to the witness who lives nearby, but perhaps there should be additional warning signs about the steepness of the street.
The same witness actually photographed the mobile home going up the street even before the accident occurred, suspecting something might go wrong.
There were no persons injured but Ambulance paramedics were seen treating someone from the mobile home, possibly for shock.
