DUI charge for esky driver

Man on motorised esky faces drunk-driving charges

A man who allegedly drove a motorised esky down the middle of West Coast Drive has been charged by police.

Hillarys police were patrolling the area at 8pm on Friday when they witnessed the incident outside the Sorrento Surf Club.

The esky contained alcohol.

A 22-year-old Sorrento man was charged with driving under the influence and will appear in court at a later day.

On Facebook police said while the vehicle was unique, it was still a potentially dangerous situation.

"This motor vehicle would only be able to travel at very low speeds, the lighting devices on said vehicle would be negligible and make it very difficult for other motorists to see."
