Drink driver over six times the legal limit crashes into multiple cars in city’s north

A drink driver has recorded a blood-alcohol level more than six times the legal limit, but not before he crashed into multiple cars in the northern suburbs.

A drink driver has blown more than six times the legal limit, leaving a trail of destruction in his tracks throughout the northern suburbs.

Around 6:15pm on Wednesday police were called to Pooraka after a white van crashed into another car on Briens Road.

Officers patrolling the area located the driver with the van around the corner on South Terrace.

Meanwhile, reports came in from other motorists describing an earlier collision and several near misses involving the same van on Hampstead Road in Northfield.

A drink driver, over six times the legal limit, has crashed into multiple cars in Adelaide’s northern suburbs.

The van had allegedly collided with the back of one car on Hampstead Road, another car on Briens Road and then a kerb on South Terrace.

There were no reported injuries.

The driver of the van, a 35-year-old man from Salisbury, recorded a blood alcohol reading of 0.335, more than six times over the legal limit of 0.05.

He was reported for drink driving and driving while disqualified and will be summoned to appear in court at a later date.

His van was towed from the scene and will be impounded for 28 days.

The incident follows the arrest of a Port Augusta man on Sunday afternoon.

The man, who had never held a driver’s licence, returned a positive reading of 0.352 after patrols stopped his Mitsubishi sedan on the Augusta Highway at Warnertown around 10am.

The 27-year-old was also wanted on an outstanding warrant.

The car was impounded and he is expected to appear in the Port Pirie Magistrates Court on Monday.
