An Ipswich teenager accused of speeding through a fatal crash scene, forcing police to jump for their lives, has been granted bail as court revelations paint a picture of a dangerous driving history.
Police said the 18-year-old drove a black Holden Commodore ute through a roadblock on Fernvale Road in Brassall just after 1.40am on Sunday, while officers were investigating a deadly crash.

Bodycam footage shows the moment police scramble to safety as the ute races through, disturbing critical evidence.
The vehicle did not stop and left the scene.
Taj Knorre was arrested on Monday at a home in Coalfalls and charged with several offences including endangering police and driving unlicensed.
In court, it was revealed his licence had already been suspended after he was caught driving at 147km/h in a 100km/h zone.
Outside court, Knorre claimed he wasn't a hoon.
His parents are vowing to sell his car.
The teen was asked by 7NEWS how he felt about his parents' decision: 'Not too bad, probably the right choice to make.'
But when pressed on whether he saw the police roadblock, Knorre replied: 'I saw the roadblock, but it's not as they say it is…'
A teenager has been charged after driving through a fatal crash scene, narrowly missing police.
He claimed he is not fighting any charges.
But when questioned if that meant he was admitting guilt, he added: 'I ain't saying nothin'.'
No one was injured but police said the incident disturbed evidence related to the earlier crash at Fernvale Rd at Brassall, in Ipswich, Queensland.
Knorre is due to face court again later this month.
