A woman was found to be allegedly five times over the alcohol limit in Ballarat last night.
Police were alerted by Ambulance Victoria after they noticed a vehicle driving erratically on Geelong Road about 5.35pm.
Officers arrived to find the woman out of the vehicle and speaking with ambulance officers.
The driver, a 37-year-old Ballarat woman, was taken to a police station for an evidentiary breath test.
Her licence was immediately suspended, and her vehicle impounded after she returned an alleged reading of .265.
It is expected the woman will be charged on summons in relation to drink driving offences.
This intercept/impound forms part of Operation Nexus, a statewide road policing operation to coincidence with the high-risk Easter period.
Police are targeting speed, impaired driving, distraction, fatigue and seatbelt non-compliance in high-risk areas throughout metropolitan Melbourne and regional Victoria, in an effort to drive down road trauma.
Operation Nexus runs until 11:59pm Monday 10 April 2023.
