A 27-year-old woman has been charged with drink driving following a collision with an e-bike in Sydney’s Moore Park overnight. Emergency services were called to South Dowling Street at 3:45am after a Subaru sedan hit a Lime e-bike near the light rail intersection with Devonshire Street.
The e-bike rider, a 29-year-old man, was treated at the scene by paramedics before being rushed to St Vincent’s Hospital in a serious condition. Police said he was found unconscious on the road with injuries believed to be consistent with being run over by a car.
The female driver allegedly returned a positive roadside breath test and was taken to Surry Hills Police Station, where a secondary breath test gave an alleged reading of 0.095. She was later transferred to St Vincent’s Hospital for mandatory blood and urine testing.
She has been charged with a mid-range drink driving offence and will appear at Downing Centre Local Court on March 14. South Dowling Street was closed southbound for several hours following the crash.
A crime scene was established, and specialist officers from the Crash Investigation Unit are examining the scene. Police urge anyone with information or dashcam footage to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
