BERMAGUI police noticed a mobility scooter weaving from side to side while being driven east along the footpath on Bunga Street at 12pm last Monday.
A 60-year-old man who was carrying a cask of port was breath tested and reported for driving under the influence.
Moruya accident
A P-plater is in a stable condition in Moruya Hospital after her car collided with a B-double truck being driven by a Narooma man on the Princes Highway, south of Moruya, on Monday morning.
A Far South Coast police officer said the woman was driving south in a Suzuki Swift when the crash occurred at about 9.10am, 500 metres north of the Afflick’s Abattoir.
The officer said the P-plater had intended to overtake another south-bound vehicle and had slowed and looked behind her.
However, traffic ahead slowed and she collided with the rear of the truck, driven by a Narooma man.
Airbags were deployed in her vehicle and the 27 year old was transported to Moruya Hospital in a stable condition.
Brogo accident
A CAR crash at Brogo on Monday afternoon had multiple emergency services responding with all sirens blaring.
Around 4.30pm Monday, August 3, several Ambulance units, plus a Bega fire engine and two Volunteer Rescue Association vehicles sped north out of Bega to assist police responding to reports of a car crash on the Princes Hwy.
However, it thankfully was not as serious as initially thought.
A Bega police spokesperson said it appeared one vehicle had pulled out of a driveway and collided with a second car travelling along the Princes Hwy near the Blanchards Rd turnoff.
Initial reports said one occupant was trapped, hence the call to action for Bega Fire and Rescue and the VRA.
However, they were called off soon after.
Four people were taken to Bega Hospital, but for relatively minor injuries, police said.
