Her dog, a dachshund, also suffered life-threatening injuries and was taken to a local vet.<\/p>\n

The driver and sole occupant of the hatchback, a 23-year-old Southside woman, suffered minor injuries and did not require hospital treatment.<\/p>\n

Locals say the tragedy highlights ongoing safety issues on the windy and tree-lined stretch of road, with some claiming drivers frequently ignore speed limits.<\/p>\n

Another said she had seen a P-plater speeding through the area just a day earlier, adding pedestrians are regularly seen walking along O\u2019Keefe Rd.<\/p>\n

Others have called for a review of speed limits, claiming traffic has increased since the opening of the nearby bypass.<\/p>\n
