Inspector Brett Berry said the dangerous driver was charged with driving offences, high range drink driving and drug related offences.

“Alcohol and drugs are major factors in road related fatalities, and we urge everyone to abstain from driving after consuming alcohol or illicit drugs for the safety of all road users,” Barry said.

“It is disappointing to see that people are still willing to risk drink driving, endangering their lives and the lives of others.”

She will appear in court at a later date.
