BILLIONAIRE Clive Palmer has been fined for causing a car crash by failing to give way to oncoming traffic at an intersection.
Mr Palmer did not front Brisbane Magistrates Court this morning where he was due to appear on a charge of failing to give way when making a right turn at an intersection.
The crash happened on Moggill Rd, Kenmore, in Brisbane’s west on March 18, while Mr Palmer was driving his Mercedes.
A police prosecutor told the court she was unaware of whether anyone was injured in the smash.
While the charge is usually dealt with via a ticket, The Courier-Mail understands Mr Palmer asked for the matter to go to court but subsequently failed to show up.
Magistrate Suzette Coates fined Palmer $440 for the traffic offence and almost $100 in court costs.
