An allegedly drunk driver appears to have had a lucky escape after a high-speed crash between Dunedin and Port Chalmers at the weekend.
Senior Sergeant Anthony Bond, of Dunedin, said police attended a crash in Ravensbourne Rd at 4.10am on Sunday.
The vehicle appeared to have been driven at high speed and the driver recorded a breath alcohol reading of 559mcg - more than double the legal limit.
No injuries were reported.
A 33-year-old man has been charged with careless driving and drink driving, Snr Sgt Bond said.
