O-Bahn bus services to the city were hit this morning after an alleged drink-driver left his Toyota utility on the tracks overnight.
The O-Bahn was closed between Tea Tree Plaza and Paradise for city-bound traffic, but normal services have since resumed after the vehicle was lifted off the rails by a crane.
Buses that use the O-Bahn in this section were forced to detour via the road network.
UPDATE 8:55am- normal services are resuming on the O-Bahn. We thank customers for their patience.
