A woman has been charged after allegedly crashing her car and blowing almost nine times over the limit in Wollongong.

Police were called to Cringila on Sunday afternoon after receiving reports a Suzuki Swift had crashed into a fence.

A 34-year-old woman who was allegedly behind the wheel returned a positive result during a roadside breath test.

Police say when she was taken to Port Kembla Police Station she returned a reading of 0.432.

She’s been charged with high range drink driving and will appear in court next month.
