A man charged with allegedly being the driver in a crash which caused the death of a Rockhampton woman in 2020 is set to be sentenced next month.

Lachlan Finlay Carr, 27, is charged with three offences including dangerous operation of a vehicle causing death or grievous bodily harm and leaving the scene without obtaining help, failing to remain at the scene of an incident and rendering assistance and failing to comply with the duties of a driver involved in a crash.

His case was mentioned in Rockhampton District Court on September 29 where his lawyer requested a sentence date which was scheduled for October 27.

Mr Carr is yet to enter a plea.

In documents viewed by this publication, it is alleged that on May 28, 2020 Mr Carr dangerously drove a car on Yaamba Rd at Parkhurst which caused the death of 65-year-old local mother Kristine Anderson.

It is further alleged Mr Carr failed to remain at the scene and render assistance and also provide particulars to another driver involved.

The charges also allege Carr left the scene other than to render assistance before a police officer arrived on scene.
