Charges against Jeremy Karl Crane, who was not required to appear, were mentioned in Kingaroy Magistrates Court today.

He has been charged with two counts of dangerous operation of a vehicle causing death, possessing dangerous drugs, and driving a motor vehicle while a relevant drug was present in his blood or saliva.

A 41-year-old woman, a 13-year-old girl and an 11-year-old boy from the same vehicle were also taken to hospital with minor injuries.
