An off-duty police officer faces the sack after allegedly blowing almost five times the legal limit when he crashed his car into a ute, leaving a toddler injured.
The 25-year-old off-duty officer was charged with high-range drink driving following the crash in Ashcroft in Sydney‘s south-west on Wednesday afternoon.
NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb said she doesn’t know ‘how you defend’ the officer’s alleged behaviour.
Empty cans and bottles of high-alcohol cider as well as beer, a cask of wine and a cooler were seen in the back seat of the probationary constable’s Honda Accord.
A toddler in the Toyota HiLux he allegedly crashed into was taken to Liverpool Hospital as a precaution.

The officer is attached to a command within the South West Metropolitan Region.
He was taken to Liverpool Police Station where a breath analysis returned an alleged reading of 0.243.
Commissioner Webb said she is ‘gravely concerned’ about the incident, saying the officer had only been in the force for four months.
His driver’s licence has been suspended and his job is on the line.

‘His employment status will be reviewed today,’ she told Sydney 2GB radio’s Ben Fordham on Thursday.
The matter will go before the court but the commissioner can take action to sack the officer without waiting for the outcome of the case.

‘I don’t know how you defend it,’ Ms Webb said.
She said she cannot sack people on the spot, but there is ‘a lower threshold for probationary constables’.
‘There’s a process that I’ve got to serve him papers, he gets a chance to respond but I can start all of that and intend to start all of that before the court matter comes up,’ she said.

The officer was issued a court attendance notice and will appear in Liverpool Local Court on December 14.
The Police Commissioner says an officer will likely be removed from the force after being charged with drink driving.
A witness to the scene told 2GB that there were lot of schoolchildren and parents around at the time of the crash as it happened near two schools.
