Woman charged after crashing car into police station at Raymond Terrace

A woman has been charged after crashing her car into a parked police car and police station north of Newcastle yesterday.

About midday, a red Ford Falcon XR6 sedan crashed into a marked police car, parked outside Raymond Terrace Police Station.

Police will allege the woman driving the Ford then reversed into the police car again, before driving along a footpath and crashing into the corner of the police station.

The car, building and a gate all suffered damage. 

A 40-year-old woman driving the Ford was taken to the Mater Hospital for mandatory blood and urine testing before being charged with a number of driving offences, including driving under the influence of a drug.
