DRIVER CAUGHT SIX TIMES THE LEGAL LIMIT

A man has been charged after he was allegedly caught driving while more than six times the legal limit after a crash on the North Coast yesterday.

At 3.30pm, emergency services responded to a multi-vehicle crash on the Tweed Coast Road at Casuarina.

Officers were told a white Toyota Hilux utility allegedly crossed onto the wrong side of the road and crashed head on with a blue Toyota Hilux utility.

A third vehicle, a white Mercedes sedan, was also damaged by debris from the crash.

Police started an investigation into the crash and spoke with the driver of the white Hilux, a 36-year-old Queensland man.

The man underwent a roadside breath test, which returned a positive result.

He was arrested and taken to Tweed Heads Police Station, where he allegedly returned a reading of 0.331.

The man was charged with drive with high-range PCA, and his license was suspended.

He’ll face Tweed Heads Local Court on November 23.
