A 25-year-old man is in hospital after crashing his car in Mont Albert in the early hours of Sunday morning. He was driving his car at nearly 100 kilometres per hour in a street where the speed limit is 60. The young man lost control of his car and hit a tree at 2 am.
A fire started immediately but two men who live in nearby houses pulled the man to safety. A woman rang 000 and an ambulance and a fire truck arrived a few minutes later. The driver lost a lot of blood and was about to die. Doctors in Box Hill hospital said the man was lucky to be alive after the accident.
A police officer said that the man had a high alcohol concentration level in his blood. They said that it was wrong to drink and drive. A close friend to the driver said his license had been suspended but he continued to use his car. He is expected to face court sometime in the future. The man is expected to pay a hefty fine for driving while his licence was suspended.
No other people were hurt in the accident. One woman told the local newspaper that she heard a bang and everyone in the house woke up. The woman thought her house was about to collapse. She rushed outside and saw a car on fire and two men taking the driver to safety. She thought the driver was dead when she saw the damage to the car.
The police interviewed the driver’s wife at his address. She told the police they had had a fight two hours before the accident took place.
