Drink driver stopped almost six times the legal limit

About 10.20pm on Thursday 12 November, police received numerous reports of a sedan driving erratically on the South Eastern Freeway.

Police were in attendance and located the Hyundai sedan on Adelaide Road, Mount Barker.

Police stopped the sedan in a nearby side street and submitted the driver a 44-year-old man from Mount Barker to a breath test which police will allege returned a positive result of .297 – almost six times the legal limit.

The man was reported for drink driving and issued a 12-month instant loss of licence notice.

The car was impounded for 28 days, and he will be summonsed to appear in court at a later date.
