Drink driver on shredded tyre blows more than four times the limit, SA

A drink driver was stopped at Littlehampton early this morning after she was spotted driving on a shredded tyre, according to SA Police.

About 2am on Sunday 29 July Mt Barker patrols spotted a Holden sedan on the Old Princes Highway driving with a blown front left tyre and being driven on its rim.

Patrols stopped the car and found the tyre completely shredded and significant damage caused to the wheel.

The driver was breath tested and allegedly produced a blood alcohol reading of 0.209, more than four times the legal limit.

A 22-year-old woman from Westbourne Park was reported for drink driving and aggravated due care. She was issued with a twelve month instant loss of licence and her car was impounded. She will be summonsed to appear in court at a later date.
