 BY IAN CROUCH

A Queensland woman is due to face court next month after allegedly being caught high range drink driving twice before crashing into a car at Ferodale overnight.

Police say the 28-year-old was arrested for high range drink driving at Coffs Harbour just after 1.30pm on Tuesday, where she was also charged with dangerous driving and had her licence suspended on the spot.

It's alleged she then drove her black BMW SUV south to Port Stephens where she collided with a car on Medowie Road at about 8.00pm.

Police say she returned an even higher alcohol reading than earlier in the day.

She's also been charged with refuse breath test, resist arrest and driving while suspended and has been granted strict conditional bail to face Raymond Terrace Court in May 9, 2022.

A 25-year-old man has survived a spectacular high speed crash at Ferodale early Friday morning.

He was travelling southbound on the Pacific Highway at 100 kilometres per hour just after 4.30am when his car left the road, slammed into a tree and overturned.

He managed to climb out of the wreck and was treated at the scene by paramedics before being taken to the John Hunter Hospital in a stable condition with cuts and abrasions.

It's not clear at this stage if he'd suffered a medical episode prior to the crash.
