The driver of a fully-laden road train has been charged with drink-driving after being stopped for a random breath test in Moree overnight.
Traffic and Highway Patrol officers stopped the heavy vehicle in Gwydir Street about 8.30pm (Thursday 6 August 2020), and subjected the driver to a roadside breath test, which proved positive.
The driver, a 52-year-old man, was arrested and taken to Moree Police station where he returned an alleged breath-analysis reading of 0.116.
