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.

IPSWICH Mayor Teresa Harding will not be deterred in her attempts to secure federal funding for the cityâs key projects despite an apparent snub under the 2021-22 budget.
While admitting she was âdisappointedâ following Tuesdayâs result, Cr Harding instead vowed to continue campaigning for investments into local infrastructure.
Key projects including vital upgrades to the Cunningham Hwy between Yamanto and Ebenezer Creek, a proposed Springfield-Ipswich rail line and upgrades to the North Ipswich Reserve failed to gain a mention in the $1.6 billion spend.
A total of only $4 million was allocated to the Warrego Hwy and Mt Crosby Rd interchange upgrades.
