Teen charged after allegedly driving through police roadblock near fatal crash
Footage has emerged of the moment a car narrowly avoided police as they investigated a fatal crash in Brisbane's outer suburbs.
Police footage shows a black Holden Commodore ute drive through the Brassall roadblock at speed, about 1.40am on Sunday.
The footage shows officers jumping out of the way as the car passes.
Queensland police have charged an 18-year-old man with dangerous driving offences, including endangering a police officer following the alleged incident.
Officers from the Forensic Crash Unit and partner agencies were attending the scene of a fatal traffic crash at Fernvale Road at the time.
Police will allege the black Holden utility travelled through the roadblock and then proceeded to drive directly through the crash scene, narrowly missing police officers and other agency staff, before leaving the area.
Police said officers later attended a Rowland Terrace, Coalfall address on Sunday, where they located the car and arrested an 18-year-old Coalfall man.
Police charged the teenager with driving a motor vehicle without a drivers licence, driving without a license plate attached and endangering a police officer when driving a motor vehicle.
He has been remanded in custody and will appear in Ipswich Magistrates Court on June 18.

Queensland Police confirm human remains found in bushland are those of missing teenager Pheobe Bishop
Police have confirmed human remains found almost two weeks ago are those of missing Queensland teenager Pheobe Bishop. The 17-year-old from the Wide Bay area was last seen on May 15 when she failed to board a flight from Bundaberg airport. Her housemates, James Wood and Tanika Bromley, have since been charged with one count each of murder, and two counts each of interfering with a corpse. Police found human remains on Friday, June 6 in the Good Night Scrub National Park area near Gin Gin. At the time, police had been unable to formally identify them but said they were in contact with Pheobe's family. In a statement released on Tuesday, Queensland Police confirmed the remains belonged to the missing teenager. "Investigations into locating more items of interest in relation to this matter remain ongoing," it said. Speaking on Tuesday, Bundaberg mayor Helen Blackburn said the formal identification was a "relief". "We've been waiting to have the confirmation that it was Pheobe that was found ... to have this now confirmed just means that we can move forward together," she said. At the time of her disappearance in mid-May, Pheobe had been living in the town of Gin Gin with her housemates. Police allege all three were in the car on the way to the airport, but the 17-year-old never made it into the terminal or onto the plane she was due to catch to Western Australia. Her disappearance was declared suspicious on May 21 and the car and the house she had been living in were identified as crime scenes. On May 23, over a week after she disappeared, police started searching Good Night Scrub National Park, an hour south-west of Bundaberg. Cadaver dogs, water police, drones and State Emergency Service personnel combed through thick scrub and items of interest were collected for forensic examination. That "physical" search was suspended after five days on June 4. Mr Wood and Ms Bromley were charged with her murder the next day, on Thursday, June 5. At the time, Pheobe's mother Kylie Johnson posted to Facebook "begging anyone that knows anything to come forward". The next morning, Detective Inspector Craig Mansfield said police expected to find Pheobe's body in the greater Gin Gin area. Detective Inspector Mansfield said police would allege her body "was moved more than once". Suspected remains were found on the Friday afternoon, with police saying they hoped to bring "closure" to Pheobe's family. Mr Wood and Ms Bromley's matters are due back in court in August.
