3. Last night the Mooseheads exterior played host to an accident with a P-plater hitting a pedestrian at 3am.
- The pedestrian, a 22-year-old man, was conveyed to Calvary Hospital with minor injuries.
The 18-year-old female driver of the vehicle was subjected to a roadside screening test and returned a negative result. Charges against the driver are still to be decided.
Sgt Greg Lester, who leads one of ACT Policing’s City Beats teams, said that this incident should serve as a warning to those people who gather outside Canberra’s nightclubs in the early hours of the morning.
“Working through the night and into the early hours, our Beats teams constantly have to deal with those situations where crowds outside nightclubs spill off the footpath and onto the roadway; and yet many of these people are oblivious to the danger in which this places them,” Sgt Lester said.
