Mayfield Car Crash: Driver Allegedly Blows Six Times Over Limit

 BY IAN CROUCH

Police say a driver was almost six times over the limit when he crashed into a parked car at Mayfield on Monday night.

Officers were called to Ingall Street just after 11.30pm to find a white Ford on its side.

Police say a 57-year-old man was reversing his yellow Kia out of driveway when he struck the Ford.

He initially left the scene but later returned and was arrested after returning a positive breath test.

Police say he subsequently blew a reading of 0.291.

The man's been charged with high range drink driving and had his licence suspended on the spot.

He's due to face court next month.
