Vic drunk fails to stop after crash

An alcohol-affected man has had his licence suspended immediately after hitting another car and driving off.

A drunk driver has ploughed into the back of another car, carrying a baby, and driven off without checking everyone was alright.

A Holden station wagon crashed into the back of a Nissan Pulsar, carrying three passengers including a two-month-old, in Cranbourne on Thursday night.

But the Holden driver failed to stop after the crash and kept driving.

No one was injured.

The offending driver called police soon after.

He was found to have a blood alcohol reading of 0.242 per cent.

A 32-year-old Cranbourne East man is expected to be charged on summons with offences including drink driving and failing to stop and assist at a scene.

His licence has been immediately suspended.
