An alleged drunk driver was lucky to escape injury when his ute ended up on its roof after crashing at Cessnock last night.
Emergency Services rushed to Allandale Road shortly before 7 o’clock to reports of the incident.
When they arrived they found the utility upside-down in the middle of the street after ramming into a parked four wheel drive, which was then forced into the back of a sedan parked in front.
The 27-year-old man who had allegedly been behind the wheel of the ute at the time was unscathed and no one else was injured as a result of the incident.
Police subjected the man to a roadside breath test which allegedly returned a positive result.
After being arrested and taken back to the local police station, he allegedly blew 0.103 and was charged with mid-range drink driving.
His licence was also suspended.
The 27-year-old will appear before Cessnock Local Court next month accused of driving while more than twice the legal alcohol limit.
