A man has been charged with high-range drink-driving and fined for breaching COVID-19 health orders after allegedly crashing into five cars in Sydney’s inner west in the early hours of Monday.
Police received reports of a Ford Ranger damaging five parked cars at the intersection of Livingstone Road and Hill Street in Marrickville about 2.40am.
Officers intercepted the vehicle and allegedly found a 36-year-old man in the driver’s seat. He was arrested and taken to Newtown police station where he allegedly returned a breath analysis reading of .207, more than four times the legal limit.
In addition to the drink-driving charge, he was also charged with failing to comply with public health orders by not having a reasonable excuse to be away from home.
