HOBSONS BAY: Ran red light at Brooklyn
Running a red light is a bad and dangerous idea at the best of times, let alone when driving unlicensed and under the influence of drugs.
Westgate Highway Patrol officers spotted a black Holden Commodore sedan driving through a red light on Francis St in Brooklyn about 10.30pm Thursday (Novg. 13).
The vehicle was pulled over and it is alleged the driver, a 35-year-old Bacchus Marsh man, was found to be unlicensed.
It is also alleged the driver claimed he ran the red light to rush his passenger to a local hospital … despite the hospital being in the opposite direction.
The driver then allegedly tested positive to an oral fluid test indicating drugs in his system.
The Holden was impounded at a cost of $999.52.
The driver is expected to be charged on summons with running a red light, drug driving and driving unlicensed related offences.
