Drug-drive charge after crash in Camperdown

A woman has been charged with driving while under the influence of drugs following a three-car crash at Camperdown this morning, NSW Police say.

Just after 1am today, officers from Leichhardt Local Area Command were called to Parramatta Road, Camperdown, where two sedans and a taxi had collided.

A 33-year-old woman was treated at the scene by NSW Ambulance Paramedics before being taken under police guard to Royal Prince Alfred Hospital.

She was treated for minor injuries and underwent mandatory tests before being released into the custody of police and taken to Newtown Police Station where she was charged with four offences:

• Drive vehicle under the influence of drugs

• Drive motor vehicle while disqualified

• Take and drive conveyance without consent

• Negligent driving.

The woman was refused bail to appear in Parramatta Bail Court today.

The driver of the VW, a 51-year-old man, and the driver of the taxi, a 36-year-old man, were assessed at the scene; however, did not require further treatment.
