The man allegedly ran from the scene but was arrested by officers shortly after.
He was breath tested and allegedly recorded a reading of almost twice the legal blood-alcohol limit.
The man from Port Kennedy has been charged with exceeding the speed limit, aggravated reckless driving, failing to stop, failing to remain at the scene of an accident and excess 0.08.
He will appear in court at a later date.
