A 63-year-old Kaleen woman has been charged after allegedly driving while five times over the limit and crashing her car in broad daylight.
ACT police said they attended a two-car crash at the intersection of Baldwin Drive and Maribyrnong Avenue in Kaleen on Friday about 10.15am.
"Police spoke to the female driver of one of the vehicles, a white Holden Commodore. She appeared to be highly intoxicated," they said.
"Police also spoke with several witnesses to the incident. They stated the Commodore was driving erratically, hitting kerbs and swerving to the wrong side of the road prior to the collision."
The driver was charged with level-four drink driving after being taken to The Calvary Hospital with minor injuries.
Analysis of the sample of the woman's blood taken at the hospital indicated a concentration of 0.294 grams of alcohol in 100 millilitres. The legal limit is 0.05 grams per 100 millilitres.
ACT police suspended her ACT driver's licence for 90 days and she has been summonsed to attend the ACT Magistrates Court in March 2022.
