The NSW Police inspector crashed in the motorway tunnel after consuming more than 20 drinks, then fled the scene. His name has been suppressed for 40 years.
The NSW Police inspector who crashed his police car in the NorthConnex tunnel and then fled the scene, but whose name is suppressed for 40 years, has been found guilty of the drunken smash.
Detective Inspector “AB” was charged in November 2023 over the drink-driving crash in Sydney’s NorthConnex in May that year. The officer, who serves in a “prestigious” posting in the leadership team and is known only as “AB”, moved the damaged car to a suburban street in Wahroonga and fled the scene. He was charged with high-range drink-driving and driving under the influence.
Solicitors for the masthead said the public deserved transparency in how AB was prosecuted, and warned the order could cause problems in the court.
