June 29th, 2024Three times the limit in Chiltern

A man has had his licence immediately suspended after allegedly driving three times over the legal limit in Chiltern earlier this week.

Officers first noticed a semi-trailer being driven erratically on the Hume Freeway in Chiltern about 7.30pm on Monday night.

Police intercepted the 37-year-old driver who underwent a preliminary breath test, before accompanying members to a nearby station where he returned an alleged evidentiary result of .158.

As well as having his licence suspended, the Clyde man is expected to be charged on summons with traffic offences.
