A father allegedly drove four times over the alcohol limit after smashing into four parked cars with two young children in the back seat.
Shelvin Singh, 37, allegedly crashed his BMW M5 after leaving Glenorie RSL, in Sydney’s outer north-west, on Monday night.
Emergency services were called to Post Office Road at 7.40pm where they noticed two children, aged three and eight, sitting in the car.
As he left the RSL’s carpark, he allegedly smashed into four parked cars and ended up outside a local restaurant.
One of the cars had a man inside who had just stopped and taken his seatbelt off.
He allegedly offered the tow truck driver $5,000 to remove the car before the police arrived at the scene.
Witnesses told radio host Ray Hadley that the driver abused first responders.
‘Singh was incoherent and struggling to form sentences but not before [telling] responders, and this is a quote from him and not first responders, “I’m black”,’ Hadley said on 2GB.
The father-of-two allegedly taunted officers: ‘I’ve gotten off before, I’ll get off again.’
Traffic and highway officers arrested Singh after administering a roadside breath test.
Singh was taken to Castle Hill Police Station where he underwent a second breath test and blew 0.224, police alleged.
