An alcohol-affected P-plater who lost control of his car in Melbourne’s south-east last night ended up suspended above the road when his vehicle rolled up a cable supporting a power pole, police say.

The 22-year-old man and his two passengers were forced to climb down from the Holden Astra which was suspended at a 45-degree angle above the road in Ormond.

A Victoria Police spokeswoman said the P-plater was driving south on Hall Street when he lost control at the intersection of Walnut Street and mounted a traffic island about 12.30am.

The vehicle then rolled up the power pole’s cable where it came to a rest with the passengers still inside.
