Man driving a three-wheeled luxury car arrested at Henley Beach after alleged hit and run crash

Police have arrested a man who allegedly drove his three-wheeled Mercedes Benz into a parked car at West Beach.

An intoxicated man driving a luxury vehicle – with only three wheels – allegedly crashed into a parked car and drove off in the early hours of Saturday morning.

Police were called to Seaview Road at Henley Beach after receiving reports of a car being driven with only three tyres just after 2am.

The silver Mercedes Benz sedan also allegedly crashed into a parked Holden station wagon on Military Road at West Beach and took off from the scene.

Later, police spotted the vehicle and spoke to the driver.

He took a breath test where he provided a positive result of 0.156 – more than three times over the legal limit. Further checks revealed the man was disqualified from driving.

The 32-year-old man from Henley Beach was arrested and charged with driving without due care, failing to stop at a crash, drink driving, driving an unregistered and uninsured vehicle and driving while being disqualified.

He was granted police bail and will appear in Port Adelaide Magistrates Court on 17 March.
