Australian police are getting on board with Back to the Future Day – literally.

Earlier today Queensland Police released a statement about its new Hoverboard Unit, who are monitoring the streets of Mount Isa.

A police media statement claimed the unit was called out to attend a car accident on Rodeo Drive this morning.

“A silver sedan had crashed into a power pole near the cinema,” the statement read.

“When questioned what speed he was doing, the driver stated that he was doing 88 miles per hour.”

A man at the scene was reportedly charged for driving with a licence which expired more than 30 years ago.

“Investigations into the vehicle and what a flux capacitor is, are ongoing,” the statement said.

The culprit allegedly asked for a Pepsi after stepping out of the crashed vehicle.

“He also wanted to know when we would be playing Jaws 19,” Jodi Saunders, owner of the Mount Isa Cinema, which lost power due to the crash, said.

The town clock also lost power in the incident.

“We have repairs underway to save the clock tower,” Mayor Tony McGrady said.

Police say they are still “investigating” the cause of the accident.

The spoof report was shared to Facebook less than an hour ago and has already amassed more than 11,000 likes and been shared by users almost 3000 times.

“QLD Police win the Internet yet again,” one user wrote.

Queensland Police were not the only police officers to celebrate the occasion. South Australia Police also release a statement claiming to have arrested a group of youths “involved in a hoverboard chase and altercation at the Courthouse Mall”.

“The gang, conspicuously dressed in upcycled Tupperware containers, wrist-guards and breast-plates were seen chasing a teenage male from Café 80’s adjacent the Holomax Theatre on Main Street,” the statement read.

The police joked that the youths were ultimately arrested for crimes against fashion.
