A glamorous influencer is ‘grateful nobody was injured or killed’ after hitting three parked cars and flipping her luxury Jeep after allegedly driving three times over the limit.
Patricia Hadjia, 27, allegedly had a blood-alcohol level of 0.181 when she hopped behind the wheel of her Grand Cherokee after a wedding in Sydney’s eastern suburbs on Saturday night.
Worried neighbours heard a loud boom on Duncan Street in Maroubra at about 9.50pm and called police.
The social media adviser – who calls herself Torpedo Trish – was arrested, charged with high-range drink driving and had her licence suspended.
Ms Hadjia opened up to Daily Mail Australia about the alleged incident saying she feels ’embarrassed’ and ‘deeply regretful’ about what happened.

Ms Hadjia’s solicitor Eidan Havas said she ‘would like to thank all first responders for attending the scene and doing such a wonderful job.’
He said further comments about the alleged crash would be ‘inappropriate’ due to her impending appearance in Waverley Local Court on November 10.
A picture from the scene on Saturday appeared to show Ms Hadjia talking to a group of young men near her flipped car.
The influencer recently shared a photo with her 39,000 Instagram followers that showing her in the same matching green pants and blazer and holding a glass of champagne at the wedding.

Witnesses said they were watching TV when they a thud, and rushed outside to find Ms Hadjia and her 29-year-old passenger pulling themselves from the wreckage.
‘I came out and looked up the road and it was a really strange looking sight, it looked a bit like a UFO had landed because the tail lights were up where they shouldn’t be normally,’ a neighbour told the Daily Telegraph.
‘I got up the road and I could see it was a car on its side, the headlights were on and I could see arms inside writhing over each other … I ran back to my partner and she said “what’s going on?”, I told her and she called Triple-0 immediately.’
She is set to appear in Waverley Local Court on November 10 to face the charge relating to the crash

Another woman said she heard a ‘massive boom’ and joined a crowd of people who gathered to see what was going on.
She said a ‘stand out moment’ was when a passenger poked his head out the window and put a cigarette in his mouth.
Ms Hadjia’s sister is Joelle Hadjia, who shot to fame after appearing on the X-Factor.
She teaches people how to become social media influencers.
