The driver of the ute allegedly fled the scene in the vehicle, before the police helicopter, Polair, tracked the ute to Loganholme where the Thornlands man was taken into custody.

The Courier-Mail understands the Thornlands man not know either of the boys who were on the motorbike.

He has been charged with manslaughter, grievous bodily harm and fail to remain at scene.

He was denied police bail and scheduled to appear in the Brisbane Magistrates Court on Monday.

Police are urging witnesses, especially those with dashcam or CCTV from the area, including Loganholme in the vicinity of Cairns St, to come forward.
