A driver three times over the legal limit crashed into a Dunedin power pole before calling police himself.
Senior Sergeant Anthony Bond, of Dunedin, said officers were called to Signal Hill Rd about 2.45am today.
They discovered that a 43-year-old man had crashed into a pole and had rung the 111 emergency services number.
He was not hurt, but recorded a breath-alcohol reading of 1106mcg.
The legal limit for a person aged 20 years and over is 250mcg of alcohol per litre of breath.
The man had his licence suspended and was charged with drink-driving, Snr Sgt Bond said.
