On Saturday, running out of fuel allegedly sparked a violent incident on Kingaroy-Cooyar Road.
Kingaroy police were called to a disturbance involving a man and woman.
When they pulled up, they found a Holden ute that was missing its bonnet. The battery had been pulled out and thrown across the highway and the dash and steering wheel were severely damaged and pulled apart.
Police will allege that a 33-year-old Nanango man assaulted a 29-year-old Kingaroy woman after becoming angry because the vehicle they were in ran out of fuel.
The woman was driven away from the scene by a passing motorist.
The man was later located and charged with assault occasioning bodily harm and will appear in the Kingaroy Magistrates Court on June 18.
