South Mackay Man Arrested For Drink Driving After Erakala Crash
A 20-year-old South Mackay man has been arrested and charged following an alleged traffic crash on Sugarshed Road in Erakala on the evening of February 11. The incident occurred around 8:15pm between Coakley Court and Sunset Drive, and was reported to police.
When officers arrived at the scene, they discovered a Nissan Navara utility that had crashed into a ditch beside the road. The driver, a 20-year-old man, approached police and identified himself as the person behind the wheel at the time of the crash.
He was then subjected to a roadside breath test, which allegedly returned a positive reading.
The driver was detained for further analysis and transported to the Mackay police station. Following a more thorough breath test, the man’s breath alcohol concentration was alleged to be .163%, significantly over the legal limit.
As a result, the driver was arrested and charged with driving under the influence of liquor and driving without due care and attention. He is scheduled to appear in the Mackay Magistrates Court on February 26 to face the charges.
The matter is being referenced under QP2500253501.
