Rob Farnham has shared the horror aftermath of his car being struck by a drunk driver.
The son of legendary singer John Farnham updated his fans after the parked vehicle was struck on Saturday.
Images show the mangled car with extensive damage and surrounded by police officers.
'Rude awakening. Drunk driver just smashed into my car. Don't drink and drive kids,' the 45-year-old wrote in his caption on Instagram Stories.
He later clarified that he was asleep at the time of the collision and was not driving the car when the accident occurred.
'Just to clarify. I wasn't driving. I was asleep in bed when this happened,' Rob explained.

'But if my car wasn't there he would have crashed into my bedroom window.'
Rob appeared in good spirits the following day as he attended the Two Years Later World Premiere on the Gold Coast alongside his wife Melissa.
It comes after John made a rare appearance at a family gathering last month, as he continues recovering from cancer surgery.
The iconic rocker, 76, beamed as he posed with family and friends, including his son James Farnham, his baby grandson and television star Denise Drysdale.
He was also supported by his loving wife, Jillian, in the sweet photo, which was shared to James' Instagram.
'Smiles all round,' James captioned the photo, which marks the first time Farnham has been seen publicly since Christmas.
The iconic rocker was seen celebrating Christmas with his wife Jill, his two sons and other family and friends in a social media post made at the time.
John looked to be in good spirits as he sat at the front of the dining table and beamed for a family photo, surrounded by loved ones.

His son James captioned the photo with some sweet words: 'Merry Christmas from the Farnhams.'
Last August, John's sons shared an update about the Australian rocker's cancer battle, revealing their dad was 'stubborn' as ever.
Rob and James Farnham sat down with Sunrise's Matt Shirvington and Natalie Barr to discuss their famous dad's health after he was diagnosed with oral cancer in August 2022.
The Aussie crooner immediately underwent a strenuous 12-hour surgery to remove the tumour and reconstruct his jaw.
Since then, the singer has had a number of smaller operations on his road to recovery.
Reflecting on his father's three-year cancer journey, Rob shared an update with fans.
'He's doing good… you go through such a dramatic surgery, particularly on your face, it’s going to affect you.'
He added: 'But he's resilient, he's strong... stubborn.'

'He's doing quite well, he's sticking to his regime. My mum makes sure he's doing all the right things - shout out to her.'
In 2022, the hitmaker discovered he had a cancerous growth in his mouth after his wife Jill insisted he get a persistent mouth ulcer checked out.
Having found a malignant tumour, the resulting operation saw parts of his mouth and jaw removed, and lasted nearly 12 hours.
John then underwent eight gruelling weeks of radiation and, 12 months later, was declared cancer-free.
