Michelle Brereton, 30, of Anne Street, Koroit, pleaded guilty in the Warrnambool Magistrates Court this week to careless driving and failing to have proper control of her vehicle.

In a contest mention hearing to clarify issues surrounding the case, police alleged that at 6.45pm on January 18 last year Brereton was driving a Ford Festiva east along Fitzroy Road when she attempted to turn right into Clyde Crescent. She was travelling too fast and crashed into the front yard of a house. 

Police claim Brereton admitted being under the influence of amphetamine and attention deficit disorder medication.

She said she was travelling at 70km/h in a 50km/h zone.

A blood sample was taken from Brereton but forensic analysis showed she had no drugs in her system.

Brereton was convicted and fined $500 with $110 costs, her licence was suspended for three months and she was ordered to pay $550 restitution.
