A 43-year-old Bundaberg West woman has been hit with multiple charges after a dramatic crash in which a car went through a fence and flipped.

In a dramatic scene on Sunday morning, a woman was arrested and charged after allegedly crashing through a fence and flipping her car in Bundaberg West.

A Queensland Police Service spokesperson said it was alleged that about 10.20am on Sunday, a white 2002 Mitsubishi Magna was travelling east along Johnston St before colliding with a fence and rolling.

A Queensland Ambulance Service spokeswoman reported the driver was already out of the vehicle upon paramedics’ arrival and did not require medical assistance.
