NSW: Woman charged with drink driving after four-car crash

SYDNEY, April 17 AAP - A woman has been charged with drink driving after a four-car
crash in the northern Sydney suburb of Pymble.

Police said the woman was driving north along Mona Vale Road about 9.20pm (AEST) yesterday
when her car hit a stationary car at the intersection with Telegraph Road and pushed that
car into another in front of it, which in turn hit a fourth car.

The woman got out of her car and was seen staggering over the road in attempt to stop
oncoming traffic before getting into the second of the three cars in front of her own
and attempting to start it, police said.

No one was seriously injured in the collision.

The woman allegedly returned a blood alcohol reading of 0.210.

A 40-year-old Belrose woman has been charged with high range PCA (prescribed concentration
of alcohol), driving with a suspended licence, failing to comply with driving conditions
and driving a conveyance without permission from the owner.

She was released on bail and is due to appear at Hornsby Local Court on May 7.

Earlier, a woman was charged with drink driving after allegedly returning a blood alcohol
reading of 0.215 on the NSW south coast.

A 25-year-old Moruya woman was arrested after she was stopped by police for a roadside
breath test on the Princes Highway at Batemans Bay at 1.20pm (AEST) yesterday, police
said.

The woman allegedly returned a breath analysis reading of 0.215 after testing at Batemans
Bay police station.

She has been charged with high range PCA, driving while disqualified and driving an
unregistered and uninsured vehicle.

She was refused bail and was due to appear at Narooma Local Court today.
