The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary responded to the collision around 8:15 a.m. and said the vehicle driven by a 28-year-old woman appeared to have lost its brakes before running into the wall.

Police officers determined there was no insurance coverage on the car and the driver was issued tickets for not having insurance, driving a vehicle with defective equipment and her car was impounded.

An unidentified man was killed late Tuesday night after slamming a vintage car into a residential wall in Lake Forest after deputies suspect he was speeding with alcohol and drugs in his system, officials said.

Orange County Sheriff's Department officials responded to the crash shortly before 11:30 p.m. on Lake Forest Drive, east of Queensbury Drive.

When authorities arrived, a 1960s model, red Ford Mustang convertible was engulfed in flames and the driver inside was trapped, sheriff's Lt. Jeff Hallock said.

Once the man was pulled from the car, he was pronounced dead.

A preliminary investigation suspected the man, who police believe was under the influence of alcohol and drugs, was driving westbound on Lake Forest Drive when he swerved and went over a raised median before driving across the opposite lanes and onto a sidewalk, Hallock said.

Investigators said he slammed into a block wall that separates the sidewalk from the backyard of an adjacent home, which sustained damage from the wall debris and car crash.

He was partially ejected from the car and may have not been wearing a seat belt at the time, Hallock said.

No other injuries were reported.

Due to extensive burn, officials will have to run available fingerprints and/or dental records to positively identify the driver, Hallock said.

The four-metre high, 45-metre long wall at the eastern base of Flagstaff Hill has will be repaired.

Oneof Wollongongs heritage-listed sea walls is in line for a much-needed restoration, with Crown Land NSW calling for tenders for the project.

The four-metre high, 45-metre long wall at the eastern base of Flagstaff Hill has deteriorated and needs significant repair works done to the sandstone brickwork.

According to tender documents, the wall has had little work for many years and is in an exposed position, with previous repairs using hard cement contributing to its decay.

The wall is part of Wollongongs state heritage-listed harbour, and is considered to have high heritage significance, as it was built using locally quarried lithic sandstone in 1881 to protect boats in the harbour from high seas.

The repairs will be the first work on Wollongongs historic sea walls since a $400,000 project to fix the retaining wall at the southern edge of the harbour, which was put out to tenderthree years ago and completed in 2013.

The successful tenderer will be asked to remove and replace the failed cement capping as well as loose stones and crusts from the wall, but should extend the life of the existing sandstone rather than replace it.

The original stones should only be replaced where the integrity of the wall is threatened, the documents said.
