Attempted murder charge, Withcott

Toowoomba detectives have charged a man with attempted murder in relation to a serious traffic crash in Withcott at the weekend.

Shortly after 3pm on Sunday (November 20), a traffic crash occurred between two vehicles, whose drivers are known to each other, along Toowoomba Connection Road.

One of the vehicles left the scene prior to police arrival.

Police will allege that a utility deliberately hit a Nissan sedan, causing it to leave the roadway and crash.

The driver of the sedan, a 33-year-old Boronia Heights man, got out of the vehicle and stood beside it.

It will be further alleged the utility was driven at the man, striking him, before it fled from the scene.

The 33-year-old suffered serious head injuries and was flown to the Princess Alexandra Hospital for treatment.

At approximately 8pm on Monday (November 21) the alleged driver of the utility attended the Toowoomba Police Station where he was placed into custody.

Detectives subsequently charged a 46-year-old Rockville man with one count of attempt to murder, two counts of endangering the safety of a person in a vehicle with intent, and one count of dangerous operation of motor vehicle.

He was due to appear at Toowoomba Magistrates Court today (November 22).
