High range PCA charge for man with two children in car at Blacktown

A man has been charged with drink driving at almost four times the legal limit with two children in his car in Sydney's west.

About 3.15pm yesterday (Tuesday 4 June 2019), a 37-year-old man attended a car park at the intersection of Lyton Street and Richmond Road, Blacktown, to pick up two children, aged nine and six.

With the children in the vehicle, the man reversed and collided with another car. The owners of the other car contacted police.

Officers from Blacktown Police Area Command attended and subjected the man to a breath test, which proved positive.

He was arrested and taken to Blacktown Police Station where he underwent a breath analysis, allegedly returning a reading of 0.198.

The man was charged with high range PCA and is expected to appear at Blacktown Local Court on Tuesday 18 June 2019.
