A drug driver who was involved in a Cunningham Highway crash later claimed he had been running late for an appearance in court.
Ipswich Magistrates Court heard Adam Walter Harry Boreham was “highly erratic” and fell asleep while police were talking with him.
Despite telling police he hadn’t taken anything before driving, a drug test later showed Boreham, 28, was under the influence of a cocktail of drugs at the time of the crash.
The court heard Boreham was sitting in the driver’s seat of his blue Holden Commodore about 7.35am when police arrived at the crash on the Cunningham Hwy, New Chum on August 12, 2020.
