A woman will face court for drink driving charges after she was caught behind the wheel blowing more than six times the legal limit on Wednesday afternoon (17 October).
Police alleged a 47-year-old woman driving a Jeep Cherokee was involved in a collision with a vehicle on Anzac Parade, Russell. The woman left the scene and continued with a flat tyre and other panel damage before colliding with a steel barrier on William Hovell Drive around 3:15 pm.
After the second accident, the driver provided police with a sample of breath, which returned 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 summoned 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.
