A 30-year-old mine worker drove down into an embankment in an attempt to flee police while drink driving.
Jared Reece Borghero pleaded guilty at Blackwater Magistrates Court on February 5 to driving under the influence of liquor.
Police prosecutor Sergeant Paul Cramp said Borghero was intercepted by police about 11.25pm on January 22, at a mining camp at Bluff.
The officers were patrolling the Jellinbah Mine camp on the Capricorn Hwy when they saw a white Ford Ranger run into the embankment, thinking it was involved in an incident.
Sgt Cramp said officers smelled liquor on Borghero’s breath, who was the driver at the time.
