Unlicenced Drink Driver Nabbed In Fitzroy

A man will face court after he blew over .05 following a collision in Fitzroy this morning.

Police responded to a collision on Brunswick Street, between an SUV and a hatchback, at the intersection of Alexandra Parade, about 5am.

The driver of the hatchback, a 27-year-old Sunshine West man, sustained minor injuries and was treated at the scene by paramedics.

The driver of the SUV, a Thornbury man, was uninjured in the collision.

The 30-year-old returned a positive preliminary breath test before blowing .144, more than twice over the legal limit.

He is expected to appear at a magistrates court at a later date to face drink driving, traffic and unlicenced driving charges.
