Police will allege the 39-year-old male drove his black Audi into a four-wheel drive and a ute near Parkgate Street. The ute was sent careening into a fence by the force of the impact.

One lane was closed while emergency services dealt with the incident, which a local described as “very scary”.

The driver has been issued a notice to appear and has been charged with driving with a disqualified license and careless driving.

He returned negative drug and alcohol tests.
