Emergency crews were called to the Prospect Hwy in Seven Hills just before 11pm on April 16 after a Kia sedan mounted a kerb and hit a power box.
The driver, a 44-year-old man, took a roadside breath test which returned a positive result, police say.
He was arrested and taken to Blacktown Police Station where he allegedly returned a high range reading of 0.155 – more than three times the legal limit.
He was charged with high-range drinking driving and will face Blacktown Local Court today.
His licence has been suspended.
