A driver has been busted more than four times over the limit – with her child in the car.
At 3.40pm on Tuesday, May 13 a 36-year-old Jordan Springs woman was driving with her six-year-old child in the car.
While the woman was driving on Armoury Road in Jordan Springs, she overcorrected and collided with a parked trailer and boat.
When police arrived at the scene the woman was still sitting in the driver seat. As police asked the woman to get out of the car, they could smell a strong presence of alcohol from her breath.
The woman was breath tested, which proved positive.
She was arrested and taken to Penrith Police Station where he underwent a further breath analysis that returned a positive reading of 0.234.
The woman’s driver’s licence was suspended on the spot, and she will appear in Penrith Local Court on Thursday, June 12.
