Federal Opposition leader says advancements in car safety saved his life

Federal Opposition leader Anthony Albanese has attributed his survival in a serious crash in Sydney’s inner-west last week to advancements in vehicle safety over the past decade. The current model Toyota Camry Hybrid sedan driven by Mr Albanese was struck by a Range Rover driven by a 17-year-old P-plater. Footage shows the curtain airbags in the Toyota Camry were deployed and Mr Albanese said he was trapped in the vehicle for a short time before emergency services arrived.
