A woman has been charged with drink-driving after allegedly ignoring road closures and driving into floodwaters in Albion Park this morning, NSW Police say.
About 5am today, emergency services were called to Taylor Road, Albion Park, after a Honda Accord became trapped in floodwaters.
The driver, a 33-year-old Werai woman, was arrested at the scene after returning a positive breath test.
She was taken to Lake Illawarra Police Station where she submitted a breath analysis of 0.076. She was charged with low-range drink-driving and is due to appear at Port Kembla Local Court on 6 July 2016.
Police will allege that the woman drove past two road blocks warning of floodwaters on the Illawarra Highway and Taylor Road, before becoming trapped.
