Mistified Posted August 13, 2008 Report Posted August 13, 2008 Home and Away star Todd Lasance in serious car crash The Daily Telegraph August 14, 2008 Home and Away star Todd Lasance was taken to Royal North Shore hospital after being involved in a serious car crash. The young actor, 23, was driving on Warringah Rd, Forestville, on Sunday when he collided with a Honda Civic being driven by an 80-year-old woman. Lasance and his passenger, a 21-year-old woman, had to be freed from the actor's Toyota Supra sports car by a rescue team before being taken to hospital by ambulance. The elderly driver was also temporarily trapped in her vehicle and suffered serious injuries. According to initial police reports, the woman was allegedly making an improper right turn off the busy road into Darley St, causing Lasance, who was travelling west, to collide with her car. "The driver of the Toyota suffered bruising and soreness to his chest and minor cuts to his hand, while the passenger was reportedly in a serious condition," Inspector Bob Bell told Confidential yesterday. Lasance, who shares an apartment in the beachside suburb of Collaroy with his Home and Away colleague Lincoln Lewis, was in the studio filming yesterday and not available for comment. A spokesman for the Seven network was keen to play down the accident. "Todd is fine and back at work on the Home and Away set this week," the spokesman said. The self-confessed "turbo-lover" bought the imported Toyota Supra - the "car of his dreams" - at the end of last year. "I am going to work on it and make it absolutely, ridiculously fast," Lasance is quoted on the Home and Away website in talking of his car.

Aww. I hope Todds ok. Having been in a car crash before I know how shaken he must be feeling. Any news on how the passenger is doing???
Tennille75 Posted August 14, 2008 Report Posted August 14, 2008 I don't like how the article I was just reading quotes how he's going to make it ridiculously fast. Makes it sound like they think he could have played a role in it. It was the other driver who was turning at the wrong time or place, the initial police report states that. Hope Todd is feeling ok, and the passenger is recovering.
Jen Posted August 14, 2008 Report Posted August 14, 2008 ^ I agree with that. It seems they kind of backed Todd into a corner, making it look like it was somehow his fault, which it seems it isn't. Anyways, I'm glad to hear he is okay.

There is no indication from the polie reports that he was speeding so why did the artical have to put that quote in and make it sound like he was.
Tennille75 Posted August 14, 2008 Report Posted August 14, 2008 Because he's a young male in a powerful car, and society as well as the media stereotypes this. So we wont write it (the media), but we'll put it between the lines, he was probably speeding and could have avoided the accident if he wasn't. Sigh.
