SYDNEY, June 3 — A Frenchman was found still enjoying his McDonald’s meal when police detained him today for allegedly crashing a car into a fountain in Sydney, the force said.<\/p>\n

“Strangely, he was still eating Macca’s there”, Police Inspector Anderson Lessing charged—perhaps a greater crime in the eyes of some of his gastronomy-loving countrymen.<\/p>\n

The 21-year-old was charged with negligent driving after police said he reversed an SUV into the Archibald Fountain in downtown Sydney’s Hyde Park in the early hours of this morning.<\/p>\n

“Half of it was sticking inside, and half it was sticking out, with the driver still inside,” Lessing told local radio station 702 ABC Sydney.<\/p>\n

Police images showed the car’s rear wheels stuck in the fountain’s pool, with the rest of the vehicle propped up on the stone sidewall.<\/p>\n

Police did not elaborate on the contents of the man’s order.<\/p>\n

They said the man had claimed to be delivering a food order when the crash happened, with damage estimated at least A$15,000 ($10,700).<\/p>\n
