Qld mayor urged to quit after drunk crash

A Queensland mother whose daughter was killed by a drink-driver is calling for Redlands Mayor Karen Williams to resign after she drank "several glasses of wine" and crashed her car.

Judy Lindsay says Ms Williams hosted an online meeting with her and two other families who's loved ones had been killed in accidents caused by drink-drivers hours before the mayor crashed her own car into a tree east of Brisbane on Thursday night.

Ms Williams says she'd had "several glasses of wine" before the crash, and admits it was a mistake getting behind the wheel but refuses to resign, saying it would be a "rash decision".
