THE evenings of two alleged drink drivers came to a messy end when their cars collided in Brunswick last week.
Fawkner Highway Patrol are investigating after both drivers involved in Thursday night’s collision were caught well over the alcohol limit.
It is believed a Honda Accord and Volkswagen Tiguan were travelling in opposite directions on Albion Street when they collided head-on and into two parked vehicles near the corner of Lillian Street about 10.45pm.
Officers conducted preliminary breath tests on both drivers, who were uninjured, and they returned positive results.
The driver of the Volkswagen, a 36-year-old Brunswick West man, returned an alleged blood alcohol concentration of .199, almost four times the legal limit.
The probationary driver of the Honda, a 19-year-old Yarraville man, returned an alleged blood alcohol concentration of .189.
Both men are expected to be charged on summons with drink driving and traffic offences.
