A red Kia reportedly crashed into a sign and a traffic light pole before colliding with two other vehicles. The impact sent the entire traffic light pole across the intersection, leaving the traffic control system completely out of action.
Police arrested a 37-year-old Tarneit man at the scene following an altercation with others present. The man appeared to be affected by drugs or alcohol, and officers made several attempts to administer a breath test, but he refused to cooperate. Eventually, four police officers had to carry him by the arms and legs to a divisional van.
Fortunately, there did not appear to be any serious injuries.The man is expected to be charged via summons with driving offences.
