Wild moment allegedly drunk woman leaves trail of destruction in carpark after smashing into FIVE parked cars including one with a baby in the back

An allegedly drunk driver has been hit with multiple charges after slamming her car into five parked cars, including one carrying a newborn baby.

Dashcam footage from the incident captured the woman as she threw what looked like a bottle into a bush in front of her car before she made her way to the driver’s seat and attempted to drive out of the Sydney carpark about 1.40pm on Saturday.

NSW Police said a 62-year-old woman was arrested shortly after at a toilet block located near a grocery store carpark off Ray Street in Turramurra.

Joshua Quaife, who owned one of the hit cars, recalled seeing the woman’s SUV plough into three other parked vehicles from the corner of his eye.

He was in the process of unbuckling his almost five-week-old daughter, Florence, from her car seat in the back.

‘As I unclipped her I could see a car in my peripherals just accelerating at me,’ Mr Quaife told 9News.

‘She got ejected out of her car seat because it was unbuckled and it was just traumatising to see her like that.’

Fortunately, the baby girl was uninjured.

The allegedly drunk driver continued to reverse in a circle, swiping another car and then hitting the first car again. 

‘If it was a few seconds earlier, I would have been holding her getting her out of the car, and would have been crushed, so it was lucky I was two or three seconds too slow to settle her,’ Mr Quaife said.

The arrested woman was given a blood alcohol test at Hornsby police station and allegedly returned a result of 0.268, which is more than five times the legal limit.

The woman was charged with high range drink driving and negligent driving. 

She will appear before the court at a later date.
