BRISBANE, Australia — A man found asleep in a motorized wheelchair on a highway in northern Australia was charged with drunken driving, police said Monday.
Officers in a patrol car noticed the man slumped in the stationary chair about 10 a.m. Friday on an exit lane near the tourist city of Cairns, said regional traffic Inspector Bob Waters. Cars were swerving to get around him, Waters said.
The officers breath-tested the 64-year-old man, who registered a blood alcohol reading of 0.301 percent — more than six times the legal driving limit.
