Incident Overview

A three-vehicle crash occurred on Wednesday, June 15, 2025, at approximately 4:15 pm on the southbound lanes of the Bruce Highway, near the Roys Road on-ramp, in Coochin Creek, Queensland.

The collision involved a black Subaru Impreza, which was allegedly driving at speed and weaving dangerously through traffic before crashing into a silver Holden Captiva and a white Isuzu D-Max.

The driver of the Subaru — a 17-year-old boy from Caboolture — allegedly fled the scene after the crash, reportedly being picked up by an unidentified vehicle believed to be a white single-cab utility, possibly a Holden Rodeo or Toyota Hilux. He was later found at a service station on the Bruce Highway in the Glass House Mountains and arrested around 5:00 pm, but was released without charge as investigations continue.

The passenger of the Subaru remained at the scene. No one was injured in the crash. The Subaru has been towed for forensic examination, and Queensland Police are seeking witnesses or anyone with dashcam footage of the incident.

“The driver of the Subaru was allegedly dropped off at a service station… and later arrested.”
