Taylors Lakes: Alleged drunk driver crashes car on home driveway

An alleged drunk driver has come just centimetres from crashing into a Taylors Lakes home after her car flipped and finished up in its front yard.

A 43-year-old woman was pulled from the Hyundai Sedan, which came to a halt on its side in the driveway of the Queen Victoria Crescent property on January 25.

The driver refused a breath test when police arrived, instead crying and collapsing on her side.

A witness to the crash said the woman had still been trying to start the car while it was perched on its side.

The driver was taken from the scene in a police van and was later released.

She is expected to be charged on summons with drink-driving offences.
