SEBASTOPOL, VIC. — A man was caught over four times the legal limit at the scene of a crash in Sebastopol over the weekend.
Police responded to reports that a white Subaru Outback station wagon reversed and crashed into a property on Albert Street about 3.15pm on Saturday, May 30.
The driver, a 63-year-old Sebastopol man, had already had his license suspended and got behind the wheel.
He allegedly returned a reading of .215 per cent BAC at the scene.
The driver was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
A 79-year-old woman was inside the property at the time and sustained minor injuries.
She was taken to hospital as a precaution.
The man is expected to be charged on summons with drink-driving offences.
Drink driving remains a significant contributing factor in fatal and serious injury collisions in Victoria.
Victoria Police conducts 3 million preliminary roadside breath tests annually.
There is zero tolerance for drink driving, and the penalties are significant if you are caught driving over the legal limit.
Victoria Police supports any measure that reduces the risk of drink driving.
