An unlicensed driver has been charged with offences including high-range drink-driving after multiple calls reporting a ute being driven erratically along the M7 were made to Triple Zero (000).
Police began receiving calls from motorists about 6.30pm yesterday (Saturday 12 October 2019), concerned about a black utility being driven south along the M7 at Cecil Hills.
One motorist provided ongoing information to officers from the Liverpool Highway Patrol, and followed the driver as he left the M7 and travelled along Elizabeth Drive, Wilson Road and North Liverpool Road, before police were able to locate him; however, the driver did not stop when directed.
Police will allege the driver almost hit several parked cars before he finally stopped on Kincumber Road at Bonnyrigg and was arrested.
The 43-year-old man was taken to Liverpool Police Station where he returned an alleged breath analysis reading of 0.204. Checks revealed the man was also unlicensed.
He's now been charged with high-range PCA, drive recklessly/furiously or speed/manner dangerous, not stop when directed, and being an unlicensed driver.
The man, from Bonnyrigg, is due to appear in Liverpool Local Court on Wednesday 27 November 2019.
