A Kingaroy man was charged with dangerous operation of a motor vehicle vehicle causing death when he appeared by videolink in Kingaroy Magistrates Court on Monday.

Gavan Blunt, 23, had previously been charged with unlawful use of a motor vehicle, and failing to remain at the scene of a road incident and render assistance.

The charges follow an incident on Christmas Day during which a 51-year-old Yarraman woman was struck and killed by a vehicle on the New England Highway.
