Woman records six times the legal limit
A 47-year-old Dunlop woman will face court for drink driving charges after she was apprehended on Wednesday (17 October, 2018).
About 3.15pm, police attended William Hovell Drive where a Jeep Cherokee had collided with a steel barrier west bound near Coulter Drive.
It is alleged the vehicle had also been involved in a collision with another vehicle a short time earlier on Anzac Parade, Russell.
The driver left the scene and continued with a flat tyre and other panel damage before colliding with a steel barrier on William Hovell Drive near Drake-Brockman Drive.
The driver provided police with a sample of breath, returning a positive reading.
The woman was taken to Belconnen Police Station where her breath analysis result was 0.314, more than six times the legal limit of a full license holder.
Police served the driver with an immediate suspension to her license and she has been summonsed to appear in the ACT Magistrates Court at a later date.
Anyone who may have dash cam footage or any information that could assist police can contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or via the Crime Stoppers ACT website. Please quote reference 6320497. Information can be provided anonymously.
