A 39-year-old man will face court after being caught nearly six times over the legal drink-driving limit in Adelaide’s north.
The man allegedly crashed his car into a tree in Manuel Avenue, Blair Athol about 9am last night, with police and paramedics responding to the incident.
Witnesses said the driver had reversed his Toyota sedan after the crash and driven away, but he was intercepted by police a short distance down the street.
There were no injuries reported to the driver or to any bystanders.
Officers performed a blood alcohol test with the Kilburn man nearly six times over the legal limit, recording a reading of 0.294.
He was subsequently reported for drink driving, driving under the influence, driving while disqualified and driving without care.
The man has lost his licence for a year and will appear in court at a later date.
His car was towed from the scene and impounded for 28 days.
