A 48 year-old Trevallyn woman will appear in the Launceston Magistrates Court next month charged with drink driving offences after a single vehicle crash on Saturday evening (8/10).

Police allege the woman was the sole occupant of a black Holden utility which crashed on Bald Hill Rd, Trevallyn, shortly before 6pm. The vehicle mounted a footpath and came to rest down an embankment.

Launceston Police Sergeant Sharee SMITH said members of the public alerted police to the crash and assisted at the scene until police units arrived.

“The woman was taken into custody and underwent mandatory testing. She was subsequently charged with offences including exceeding the prescribed limit – recording a reading of 0.261 – as well as driving under the influence,” Sgt Smith said.

“It was extremely fortunate no other vehicles were involved in the crash and no one was injured, given the location of the crash and traffic in the area at the time.”

Anyone with dashcam or CCTV footage of the crash has been asked to contact Launceston Police on 6777 3945 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
