A NSW woman caught getting behind the wheel with nearly nine times the legal alcohol limit in her system has pleaded guilty to high-range drink-driving.
Police say Trudi Margrit Friend earned the dubious distinction of recording the highest-ever prescribed concentration of alcohol (PCA) in NSW history four months ago.
It's alleged the 52-year-old swerved off a road at Boambee East, near Coffs Harbour, on a Wednesday afternoon in January and crashed into a fence.
She was rushed to hospital and a blood sample taken.
Police say it was not until March that they received official confirmation of her blood alcohol content, which came in at a whopping 0.486.
Friend's licence was seized and on Monday, in Coffs Harbour Local Court, her lawyer entered a guilty plea on her behalf to the offence of high-range PCA.
The case was adjourned so that Friend can take part in the Traffic Offenders' Program.
She is expected to face sentencing proceedings later this month.
