Yarrabilba teen charged after pedestrian hit at Beenleigh

A Yarrabilba boy, 17, has been charged following a “serious” crash at Beenleigh on 26 September.

Police said officers were called to James Street at about 8.30pm after reports a Holden Commodore hit two parked vehicles and a pedestrian on James Street.

The driver of the Holden, who police allege was a teenager from Yarrabilba, allegedly fled the scene on foot.

Police allege he was found a short distance away by members of the public.

The pedestrian, a 51-year-old Rathdowney man, was seriously injured to his leg and taken to Princess Alexandra Hospital in a stable condition.

“Police have since charged a 17-year-old Yarrabilba boy with one count of dangerous operation of a vehicle causing grievous bodily harm,” police said in a statement.

He is due to appear in Beenleigh Magistrates Court, 29 September.

Anyone who may have information, including relevant dashcam vision of the incident, to contact police.
