Newcastle police were called to the scene on Newcastle Road on Thursday night after reports the woman had driven off without leaving details.
Initial investigations led them to a home on Thomas street where they spoke with the 31- year -old woman, who confessed to being involved.
A check of her licence revealed she was suspended for two years, while a breath test returned a 0.179 reading.
She was charged with a number of offences including high range drink driving and will appear in Newcastle Court next month.
