"They need to definitely do something, it's such a dangerous intersection," she said. 

"My car's been hit twice already, just by parking there."

A police spokeswoman said the two-vehicle crash happened at about 11.25am.

There were no reports of serious injuries but both vehicles - a car and a commercial van - needed to be towed from scene.
