A 39-year-old woman from Huonville has been charged with high-range drink driving following a single vehicle crash on the Tasman Highway at Cambridge on Monday night (4 August).
Emergency services were called to the crash about 7.45pm, where the woman was reportedly found behind the wheel of a Toyota Corolla.
She was taken into custody and returned a breath alcohol reading of 0.242, almost five times the legal limit.
The woman was charged with Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol, received an immediate disqualification from driving for two years, and was bailed to appear in court at a later date.
"We're reminding the public that drink driving on our roads places themselves, other drivers and the wider community at significant risk," said Sergeant Andy McShane from Road Policing Services.
"If you are going to consume alcohol, please don't get behind the wheel of a motor vehicle."
Anyone who has information or dash cam footage of the Toyota Corolla driving in a dangerous manner between Huonville and Cambridge on Monday evening is asked to contact police on 131 444 and quote ESCAD 369-04082025.
