What happened

Incident Overview

Queensland Police are investigating an alleged dangerous-driving incident involving a white Toyota LandCruiser utility in the Geham area on Sunday, 18 October 2026.

Police allege the utility was being driven north on the New England Highway at about 2.30pm and forced several motorists to take evasive action. Police said the vehicle later crashed near the intersections of Kahler Road and Strack Road. No injuries were reported.

Police said he was due to appear before Toowoomba Magistrates Court on 13 November 2026. These are allegations and charges, not findings of guilt.
