A NSW Government employee will face court later this month after being accused of drink-driving.
A NSW Police spokesperson said that at about 2:50 pm yesterday (2 December), officers attached to the Traffic and Highway Patrol Command were patrolling in the Bemboka area about 35 km west of Bega when it was reported a Toyota Prado was allegedly driving dangerously.
Following a search of the area, officers found the Toyota parked on the Snowy Mountains Highway at about 3:50 pm.
A 55-year-old man, who police say is employed by the NSW Government as a driver, was subjected to a roadside breath test.
He allegedly returned a positive result.
