Police release terrifying dash cam footage in bid to raise awareness for tired driving

WA police have shared footage showing the moment a fatigued driver loses control of their vehicle and slams into a power pole.

The 69-year-old woman, who was behind the wheel, told WA police that she wanted the footage to be shared to the public, hoping it would raise awareness and deter anyone from driving tired.

According to the information released on Facebook accompanying the video, the woman suffered only minor injuries.

The woman will not be facing charges although police did say “she will have to undergo a ‘Fitness to Hold’ examination to prove she is able to hold a driver’s licence.”
