A woman has been charged after allegedly driving a vehicle under the influence of alcohol with three children in the back seat after being stopped in Sydney’s south west today, NSW Police say.
Just after 8am today, officers from the Joint Traffic Task Force (Traffic & Highway Patrol Command) stopped a Volvo SUV attempting a u-turn on the Hume Highway near Liverpool.
The officers spoke with the driver, a woman aged 44, and subjected her to a roadside breath test.
Three children, aged between nine and 11 were also in the vehicle, along with another woman.
The driver allegedly returned a positive reading and was arrested for the purpose of a breath analysis.
She was conveyed to Liverpool Police Station where she allegedly returned a breath analysis reading of 0.183, which is in the high-range category.
The woman was charged with high-range drink-driving and had her licence suspended.
She was given conditional bail to appear before Liverpool Local Court on Wednesday 13 July 2016.
