Three-wheel drink driver busted

A drink driver’s car has been taken off the road after it was seen travelling on three wheels in Keilor on Wednesday.

Police responded to several calls to triple -0 after the car was seen by fellow motorists being driven on three wheels and a bare rim along Calder Freeway about 3.20pm.

A short time later, police located the driver and car at an address on Hesleden Street, Essendon.

The driver, a 53-year-old woman, accompanied police to a police station and returned an evidentiary breath test reading of 0.139.

The car was impounded for 30 days at a cost of $913.70.

The Essendon woman is expected to be charged on summons with drink driving and traffic offences and is expected to appear at a magistrates court at a later date.
