Who haunts the lonely Wakehurst Parkway and why?

Most witnesses claim the scariest part is where Wakehurst Parkway meets Warringah Road. Many of the crashes are said to have been caused by a young girl named “Kelly,” who enters people’s motor vehicles as they drive along the dimly lit road after midnight. If she is not informed that her presence is unwanted, she will make the car veer off the road and crash. Those who claim to have seen ‘Kelly’ say she appears on or beside the road late at night and then disappears. Others say that Kelly appears in your back seat and unless you tell her to get out, she will take control of the car and steer you off the road.
