Motorist hits tram, speeds away

VICTORIA Police are investigating a hit and run with a difference in the Melbourne suburb of St Kilda.

The errant motorist, who was appearing to do a burnout in busy Acland Street at 8.30pm (AEST) yesterday, lost control of his car and slammed into a stationary tram.

To make matters worse, the silver Ford sedan then took off and almost hit a policeman who was helping paramedics treat a drug-affected man in an unrelated incident nearby.

"Fortunately, the offending driver was kind enough to leave the car's bumper bar, with number plate still attached, on the tram tracks," a police spokesman said.

No one has yet been arrested.

Just goes to show Ford isn't immune from idiots buying (or stealing - as may well be the case) their cars.

P.s. I ran a search and found nothing so I hope this isn't a re-post
