An alleged drink driver has collided with a parked ambulance that had its emergency lights flashing and sirens sounding in suburban Adelaide.
Police say the 22-year-old man's car hit the ambulance on Marion Road at Plympton Park just after 2:00 am ACST.
They say the car crossed the median strip and struck the front fence of a home.
The Ascot Park man allegedly recorded a blood alcohol reading of 0.187.
He has lost his probationary licence and faces charges including drink driving.
I'm more surprised we don't get it happening more often given the way somedrivers seem unable to see the lights in the rear view mirror or hear the sirens coming from somewhere close to their rear end.
