A car somehow flipped on its side outside the Qantas terminal at Melbourne Airport on Sunday, blocking a lane and disrupting airport traffic – in an area where vehicles are meant to travel no faster than 10 km/h.
Images of the car on its side in Departures Drive were shared widely on social media and drew a report from Daily Mail Australia.
“Hope the drivers okay, but how on earth does one manage to roll their car in a 10km zone??” posted Katt@KatharineFoxx on Twitter.

“I am legitimately impressed someone has managed to flip their car at the Melbourne Airport drop-off today,” observed froo@froo.

The bizarre accident happened, apparently, after a car collided with a taxi near the passenger drop-off area, leaving a black sedan flipped onto its right-hand side.
Whoops! What happened here?
Authorities temporarily closed the road and are investigating. Nobody was injured, Australian Federal Police said.
