“Person got stuck right after, an off-duty policeman called backup and five police cars arrived as the driver was arrested,” one person posted on Adelaide’s social media page.
The driver was asked to complete a breathalyzer test and refused, so he was taken to a nearby hospital for a blood alcohol test.
It is understood that the driver was suspended for one year as a result of the incident.
