On Monday morning at 9am, a quiet Cannonvale neighbourhood was rocked when a brand new Ford Range utility came careening through the street and crashed into the walls of a nearby home.
The incident took place at MacArthur Drive, Cannonvale near Alice Court where a traffic sign was damaged, along with the front of the house which was situated on MacArthur Drive.
The 33-year-old Cannon Valley man who had been driving the vehicle was issued with an infringement notice for careless driving and the police will allege that the accident was caused due to inattention.
Despite testing negative for alcohol and drugs, a mysterious clip seal bag containing white powder was uncovered when the police searched the vehicle.
The man was charged with possessing dangerous drugs and is scheduled to appear at Proserpine Court on March 7 to have the matter heard.
Sergeant Nigel Dalton said that two people, believed to be residents of the damaged house were providing witness statements.
Airlie Beach Fire and Rescue attended the scene, and the property was deemed unfit for use until an engineer had checked it was stable.
No-one was seriously injured in the incident which Sergeant Dalton said was very fortunate.
“It looks quite scary, but nobody was particularly badly injured,” he said.
Road safety is everyone’s responsibility, and that starts with you.
