Police respond to Upwey collision

Police officers from Belgrave Police Station responded to reports of a collision in Upwey on Saturday 3 December, where they discovered a car had collided with a street pole, before the driver allegedly drove down the wrong side of the road and collided with an oncoming car.

Police said the driver was taken to Belgrave Police Station for a breath test, with his result being 0.253, and that the man had driven two hours from country Victoria to Upwey with his two children.

No one was injured during the collision with the pole and the other vehicle. The man had his licence cancelled on the spot and will appear in court at a later date.
