Drunk mechanic blows 0.339 after crash injures two A HOME mechanic has allegedly recorded a 0.339 alcohol reading after accidentally knocking a car into gear, which crashed into a car port and injured two people. Nunawading highway patrol Sergeant Paul Egan said the man, 45, was working on a friend's car in a driveway in Greendale Rd, Doncaster East, when the car lurched forward into a car and retaining wall about 3.55pm on Wednesday, July 3. Sgt Egan said the man, from Ferntree Gully put the car into reverse, but hit another car and car port, which collapsed. Two people, who were in the backyard behind the car port, were taken to Box Hill Hospital with minor injuries, but released soon after, he said. The man was taken to Doncaster police station, where he allegedly recorded a blood alcohol content almost seven times the legal limit, he said. "The offender was taken to hospital due to the level of intoxication," Sgt Egan said. Most people would not be able to stand at that sort of reading, let alone work on a car. Sgt Egan said the SES was called in to make the car port safe. He said the man was interviewed and expected to be charged on summons.
