A LEARNER driver was allegedly caught more than three times over the legal alcohol limit after crashing his car on Frankston-Dandenong Road.
The 28-year-old rolled his car in Dandenong South. The vehicle came to a stop on its roof.
Police say the man freed himself and ran into nearby bushes. A statement on the police eyewatch Facebook page read that they found him “passed out in a pile of dirt on Glasscocks Road”.
“The vehicle flipped several times before coming to a stop on its roof,” police said. “The driver was extremely lucky not to have killed himself or another road user by getting behind the wheel impaired.”
The man was taken to hospital and a blood sample was taken. He allegedly had a blood alcohol concentration of 0.174.
The Cranbourne resident is expected to be charged on summons with driving offences including learner driver unaccompanied and drink driving. He will face court at a later date.
