Drink driver crashes at Hope Valley

Just after 8.30pm on Sunday 15 November, police responded to a two-car crash on Grand Junction Road. A Toyota RAV4 was driving on the wrong side of the road when it collided with an oncoming vehicle.

Fortunately, no one was injured.

The Toyota driver, a 66-year-old Hope Valley woman, was breath tested and allegedly produced a blood alcohol reading of 0.174, more than three times the legal limit.

She was subsequently reported for drink driving and aggravated driving without due care and issued with a 12-month instant loss of licence. Her car was impounded and she will be summonsed to appear in court at a later date.
