Car Into House And More Than Double Limit In Terang

A driver has allegedly blown more than double the limit after a car crash in Terang early hours this morning.

Police swiftly responded to multiple Triple Zero calls reporting a car had crashed into a house on High Street about 3am.

Officers from Warrnambool and Camper Downs arrived at the property to find the alleged driver still on scene.

Fortunately, both the alleged driver and people home at the time were not injured.

It is alleged the driver, a 19-year-old Boorcan man holding a probationary licence, provided an evidentiary breath test reading of 0.132.

His licence was immediately suspended and he is expected to be charged on summons with driving and drink-driving offences.

The house sustained extensive damage requiring a building assessor to attend later today.

The detection forms part of Operation Amity, a statewide road policing operation conducted over the Australia Day long weekend.

Police will be highly visible and enforcing in an effort to reduce road trauma, targeting impaired driving, speed, fatigue and distraction offences.

The operation commenced on Friday 23 January and runs until 11:59pm on Monday 26 January.
