A woman has been charged with high-range drink driving following a two-vehicle crash in the state’s Central West yesterday.
About 6.20pm (Monday 25 April 2022), emergency services were called to Denison Street, Mudgee, following reports of a two-vehicle crash involving a Subaru Liberty and a Mazda sedan.
Officers attached to Orana Mid-Western Police District attended and located the driver of the Subaru – a 64-year-old woman – who was uninjured.
The Mazda was parked on the side of the road and unoccupied at the time. The Mazda was pushed into another car – a Toyota Hilux – that was parked nearby.
The driver of the Subaru was subjected to a roadside breath test, returning a positive result.
She was subsequently arrested and taken to Mudgee Police Station where she underwent a secondary breath analysis, which allegedly returned a positive reading of 0.186.
The woman had her licensed suspended and was issued a Court Attendance Notice for drive with high range prescribed concentration alcohol (PCA).
She is due to appear before Mudgee Local Court on Wednesday 8 June 2022.
