A man is facing drink driving charges following a rollover crash on the M1 Motorway.
Emergency services responded to reports of a crash in the northbound lanes of the M1 Motorway at Jilliby at about 9.30pm on July 22.
On arrival police located the driver and his female passenger, who had both exited a silver Mitsubishi Triton which had rolled.
Both were not seriously injured, but the 16-year-old female passenger was conveyed to Wyong Hospital as a precaution.
The male driver of the Mitsubishi Triton told police that a small black vehicle caused the crash by swerving in front of him, making him take evasive action.
When breath tested, a positive alcohol sample was detected and he was subsequently arrested and taken to Wyong Police Station where a breath analysis returned a reading of 0.094.
It was further identified that the male only held a Victorian Learner Driver Licence.
On investigation and through assistance from the public via dash camera video, it was established that the driver’s manner of driving leading up to the crash was erratic and that no other vehicle had caused or was involved in the crash.
The 25-year-old male from Victoria was issued a court attendance notice to attend Wyong Local Court on September 8 to face charges of mid-range PCA and learner not accompanied by a licensed driver.
