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.
