GOLD Coast commuters were hit with delays of an hour in both directions after a woman allegedly drove her car onto tracks over the Sundale Bridge in the early hours of Friday morning.

TransLink blamed an “object on the tracks” for the delay, warning passengers trams were delayed for 60 minutes in both directions.

Police were called to reports of Volksqagon Tiguan on the tram line near the bridge around 3.10am.

After searching the area they found a woman nearby on the Gold Coast Highway at Surfers Paradise, allegedly the driver of the vehicle.

She returned an alleged breath test of 0.15 – three times the legal limit.

The 46-year-old Pacific Pines woman has been charged with driving under the influence of liquor. She will face Southport Magistrates Court on January 12, 2022.
