Thankfully this is the image of a lucky escape after a man and his female passenger crashed into a tram barrier in Carlton on January 21.
Police have been told the man was driving along Nicholson St when he ran into a tram stop barrier, near Elgin St, at around 12.45am.
The 33-year-old man and his female passenger were very lucky they weren’t injured when the Mercedes AMG mounted the barrier and became stuck.
The man returned a positive breath test before furnishing an evidentiary breath test result of .127.
The Braybrook man’s licence was immediately suspended and he was later charged on summons with drink driving •
