This week's Bugle Bulletin brings you the best of the week’s local stories.

Our lead item this week revolves around the truck driver who collided with the newly installed crash barrier on Terralong Street.

After the incident on Saturday, a 22-year-old man reversed his vehicle and took a detour up Railway Parade.

He was then pulled over by Lake Illawarra Police officers on South Kiama Drive and underwent a roadside drug and alcohol test where he allegedly returned a positive reading for cocaine.

He was issued with an infringement notice for disobeying a low clearance sign, which carries a fine of $4783 and 12 demerit points.

We also report on the new laws targeting the sale of illicit tobacco and vape products with a Kiama tobacconist ordered to close its doors for 90 days.

You can also tune in to see Minister for Agriculture and Regional NSW Tara Moriarty dropping by Lake Illawarra to make a couple of major funding announcements.

Nearly $22 million will be spent on the local aquaculture industry and to help improve services at Shellharbour Regional Airpot.

And in sport, the Illawarra Hawks are licking their wounds after a narrow loss to Melbourne United in Wollongong.
