Dodge Drink Driver Doesn't Dodge Law

A woman has lost her licence and will face a magistrate after crashing into a police breath-testing site in Geelong and allegedly blowing nearly three times the legal limit.

The woman was driving on Ryrie Street, approaching the site near the intersection with Garden Street about 1.25am.

Despite traffic cones, multiple police vehicles with emergency beacons and police members visible, the woman lost control and crashed into the rear of a stationary police vehicle.

The police vehicle and the woman's Dodge Journe wagon sustained major damage, but thankfully nobody was injured during the incident.

The driver, a 33-year-old Clifton Springs woman was arrested after she returned a positive preliminary breath test.

She was later interviewed and required to undertake an evidentiary breath test, returning an alleged reading of .150.

She is expected to be charged on summons with drink driving and traffic-related offences.
