    Queenstown's Ballarat St resembles a bowling alley after the handbrake apparently failed on a courier van, causing it to career down the steep road and hit three parked cars, a power pole and a road sign.

    Police are now interviewing the driver, witnesses and the owners of the damaged cars following the incident, which occurred about 10.30am.
