A teenage driver is lucky to be alive after crashing into the rear of a stationary tow truck south of Melbourne.

Images shared by Mornington Peninsula Police revealed the extent of the damage.
The passenger’s side of the blue Holden Commodore sedan was caved in as a result of the impact.
“It only takes a momentary break in concentration for things to go wrong,” police wrote on their Facebook page.
“Please drive safely.”
The driver was taken to hospital with minor injuries.
