Drink driving crash A LANGWARRIN man is expected to be charged over two separate collisions in Frankston and Moorabbin. Just after 6pm on 26 November, a black Volkswagen Tiguan on South Road in Moorabbin allegedly crashed into the back of a stationary vehicle. Around an hour later, police believe the same car was involved in a collision with a blue Honda CRV wagon near the intersection of Karingal Drive in Frankston. The cars involved in the collision were both badly damaged and towed from the scene. The two occupants of the Honda, two 70-year-old people from Somerville, were not hurt. Police say that the man alleged to be behind the wheel returned an evidentiary breath test reading of 0.160, more than three times the legal limit. Police say they will charge him on summons with drink driving and other traffic related offences. Police have asked anyone who saw a black Volkswagen Tiguan travelling between Elsternwick and Frankston from 5pm to 7pm
on 26 November to contact them. Contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au THE aftermath of a crash in Frankston. Picture: Supplied
Speedsters caught SOMERVILLE Highway Patrol members attended four dangerous incidents on Peninsula Link overnight between 28 and 29 November. At around 9pm, a 19-year-old was clocked driving at 138 kmph on Peninsula Link. Police allege that the car was unregistered and P plates were not displayed. The driver lost their license for three months. About an hour later, police pulled over a man on the same road allegedly driving at 161 kmph. His license was immediately suspended. Roughly an hour after that another driver was allegedly caught speeding on the road, this one a 19-year-old man driving at 141 kmph. Finally, police suspended a man’s license for three months after catching him speeding on Peninsula Link at 127 kmph at around 12.30am. Somerville Highway Patrol Acting Sergeant Raj Sharma said “we are very lucky there wasn’t a fatality.” “These young people think they are invincible, and they need to remember that having a licence is a privilege and not a right. Each of them have had their licence for less than 12
months and by driving at these speeds, they are taking their lives into their own hands,” he said. “There are a lot of school leavers down here on the Peninsula at the moment and it’s a timely reminder to these young people in particular, that we are out in force intercepting vehicles who are doing the wrong thing. Whilst we understand that they’ve had a tough couple of years throughout the pandemic, we want them to enjoy themselves with their friends and get home safely to begin the rest of their lives, post high school.”

He was released on bail, and will appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court on 5 May next year.
