Police have charged a man with drink driving following a single vehicle crash at Gatton yesterday afternoon 23 April.

Police and emergency services were called to the intersection of William Street and Cochrane Street around 2pm after receiving reports a 2011 Ford Fiesta had crashed into a power pole.

The driver and male passenger were uninjured.

The driver is alleged to have refused to undergo a roadside breath test before being placed under arrest.

A 26-year-old Gatton man has been charged with one count each of mid-range drink driving, driving an unregistered vehicle, contravene direction or requirement of a police officer and comply with condition on license.

He is due to appear in the Gatton Magistrates Court on 26 May.

The Queensland Police Service is committed to reducing the number of lives lost on our roads. However, enforcement alone cannot stop all dangerous driving behaviours.

Every choice you make behind the wheel, matters. Driving under the influence, speeding, driving distracted or while fatigued, or not wearing a seatbelt puts your life – and the lives of others – at serious risk. These dangerous behaviours will not be tolerated.

Queenslanders can expect police – anywhere, anytime.

Road safety starts with you.
