NSW police charge woman with high-range PCA after crash at Wagga Wagga

A woman has been charged with high-range drink-driving after crashing with two children in the vehicle at Wagga Wagga yesterday.

Just before 9am (Thursday 13 August 2020), the 34-year-old was driving a Land Rover Discovery with the children in the back when she allegedly crashed the car into a street sign at the intersection of the Sturt and Olympic highways.

The woman was charged with high-range PCA and her licence was suspended.

She is due to appear in Wagga Wagga Local Court on Wednesday 23 September 2020.
