Woman was five times the limit when she crashed into parked car: police

A Crace woman has been charged with high-range drink driving, at more than five times the legal limit, following a crash with a parked car.

Police said they responded to a crash between a Hyundai IX35 and a parked Holden Cruze on Cocoparra Crescent in Crace about 8pm Tuesday.

The 49-year-old driver of the Hyundai was taken into custody and taken to Gungahlin Police Station following a positive breath test.

Soon after, the driver returned a breath test reading of 0.269, more than five times the legal limit.

The woman's licence was immediately suspended. She will be issued a summons to appear in court at a later date.
