Javarn Roy Doyle charged for Mackay road triple fatality crash

A father has been charged with a string of offences including dangerous driving and failing to ensure his two-year-old son was properly restrained over a devastating crash that claimed three lives.

An arrest warrant has been issued against a father charged over a devastating crash south of Mackay that claimed three lives including his two-year-old son.

Police alleged the little boy Izaya Jasperson was not properly restrained and others in the vehicle were not wearing seatbelts when the tragedy occurred on Marlborough Sarina Rd at Clarke Creek on November 11, 2021.

Javarn Roy Doyle allegedly had drugs in his system as he was behind the wheel, travelling from Rockhampton to Nebo with his partner Kira Jasperson, their son and two others, when the car left the road near Grave Gully Bridge and collided with a culvert about 10.15pm.

It is understood the vehicle flipped and rolled in a muddy ditch pinning some passengers under the vehicle, about 168km south of Mackay.

Paramedics had to wade through mud amid heavy rain to reach the heavily damaged car.

Izaya and a 59-year-old Park Avenue woman were pronounced dead at the scene.

An 18-year-old Rockhampton man tragically died from his injuries on the way to hospital.

Ms Jasperson was taken to Rockhampton Hospital with serious head, facial and pelvic injuries from which she later recovered.

At the time the fatal crash brought the Mackay district’s road toll to 14 for 2021.
