Subscriber only A court has heard how crashing into a tree was a wake up call for a man to do something about his issues with drugs. Bradley Robert Weekes pleaded guilty in Bundaberg Magistrates Court on Thursday to a number of offences including driving under the influence of liquor or a drug and driving without due care or attention. The court heard police were called to an incident on October 5 last year where a car had crashed into a tree on Elliott Heads Rd. Witnesses told police the car had been travelling south east before going down a small embankment near an intersection and into the tree.
A young man who has been without his licence and car for the last 18 months has been fined after he was caught doing a burnout. Alden Fabian Harvey, 22, pleaded guilty in Bundaberg Magistrates Court to one count of wilfully making unnecessary noise or smoke and possessing a dangerous drug. After 3pm on September 12 in 2019 police were near the roundabout near Bourbong St and Walla St when they saw Harvey drive through. As Harvey was leaving the roundabout he accelerated which caused his tyres to spin and the rear of his car move from side to side, with smoke coming from the tyres.
