Huonville Woman Charged with High-Range Drink Driving After Cambridge Crash
A 39-year-old woman from Huonville has been charged with high-range drink driving following a single-vehicle crash on the Tasman Highway at Cambridge on Monday night, August 4.
Emergency services responded to the incident around 7:45pm, where they located the woman behind the wheel of a Toyota Corolla. She was taken into custody and returned a breath alcohol reading of 0.242-nearly five times the legal limit.
The woman was charged with Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol and was immediately disqualified from driving for two years. She has been bailed to appear in court at a later date.
Sergeant Andy McShane from Road Policing Services issued a strong reminder to the public:
"Drink driving puts everyone on the road at risk-yourself, other drivers, and the wider community. If you plan to drink, do not drive."
