He was arrested at the scene, and recorded a blood alcohol concentration of 0.198, almost four times the legal 0.05 limit.
His vehicle has been seized, and will be searched tomorrow.
The man has been charged with aggravated reckless driving, property damage, high-range drink driving, possessing prohibited substance and burglary.
Investigations are continuing, any witnesses or anyone with dash-cam footage should call 1800 333000.
