A 42-year-old man has been charged following a single vehicle collision in the City overnight.
About 1:30am this morning (Tuesday, 25 November 2025), police attended Marcus Clarke Street following a report of a single vehicle collision with a man slumped in the driver seat.
Police will allege his vehicle collided with the curb, causing the passenger side wheel to deflate and the vehicle to come to a halt.
The driver was subject to a licence condition requiring him to have an alcohol interlock device fitted to the vehicle, which officers did not observe to be in the vehicle he was driving. Police subjected the driver to a roadside alcohol screening test where he refused to provide a sample.
He was taken into custody and was subjected to another breath analysis which he refused.
The man was issued with an immediate suspension notice and charged with refusing to undergo screening test, driver refusing breath sample and contravening interlock condition. He is expected to appear in the ACT Magistrates Court today (Tuesday, 25 November 2025).
