Driver filmed leaving burning car scene

An alleged drink driver was pulled from his burning car in the middle of Sydney’s CBD today — and was then filmed walking away from the scene.

The man, in his early 20s, lost control of a Peugeot travelling along the Fig Street ramp in the city at about 11.35am today.

A passing motorist came to the rescue and pulled the driver from the car, which had burst into flames, police said.

Police and fire crews arrived at the scene and found the driver laying down on the pavement and suffering dizziness.

While the officer returned to his car to retrieve his safety vest, the driver was seen walking away from the scene with two companions before he was chased up and ordered to return.

A passing Channel Nine camera crew captured the aftermath.

The driver booed the news crew, giving them a thumbs down sign as they filmed his arrest.

A subsequent breath test returned a blood alcohol reading of 0.12, police said.

The man was taken to a local police station in the back of the police van where he was charged with drink driving and bailed to appear at the Downing Centre Local Court on July 28.

Pity Australia allows RETARDS to drive on our streets, endangering the lives of others. If there was a genetic screening method to ABORT the BIRTH of such individuals then Earth would be a place in Heaven. No need for the DARWIN AWARDS here, yet !!
