Traffic police blitz at Strathalbyn brings ‘disappointing’ results
Police say they are disappointed at the results of a four-day blitz of roads in and around Strathalbyn a week ago.
Six people were reported for drink driving, five allegedly tested positive to illicit drugs, 31 fines were issued and 10 vehicles defected between March 18 and 21.
Those reported included a man who allegedly attacked police after a breath test and a woman who allegedly crashed her Lexus into trees while under the influence of methamphetamine.
SA Police Inspector Gus Sickerdick said there was no excuse for putting people's lives at risk by drink or drug driving.
“In 2020 there were 21 lives lost in crashes on South Australian roads where drink and/or drug driving were a contributing factor,” he said.
“SAPOL are committed to keeping rural roads safe and this reckless and life-threatening behaviour will not be tolerated.”
