A stolen car driving at twice the speed limit damaged four cars at school pick-up

Primary schoolchildren on their way home were hit by a stolen car driving more than twice the speed limit, police will allege when the driver fronts court.

A man driving 100 kilometres an hour through a Brisbane school zone at pick-up time allegedly stole the vehicle before he crashed into three other cars.

A 30-year-old Tingalpa man has been charged with multiple offences after he drove a white Subaru sedan he allegedly stole on August 11, at approximately 100km/h along Smith Road at Woodridge, before colliding with three other vehicles outside a primary school at 3pm.

Police allege the Subaru clipped a car, causing it to cross the road and collide head on with another vehicle.

The second vehicle sustained major damage and contained three primary aged children. The third car also sustained major damage and had two young children inside.

The fourth vehicle sustained minor damage.

All occupants of the damaged cars escaped serious injury.

The alleged driver of the stolen Subaru sustained minor injuries and was arrested by police before being transported by police to Princess Alexandra Hospital for precautionary assessment.

A 30-year-old Tingalpa man has since been charged with two counts of burglary and commit indictable offence and one count each of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle while affected by an intoxicating substance, unlawful use of a motor vehicle, obstruct police, assault police, fraud and driving unlicensed.

He is due to appear in Beenleigh Magistrates Court on August 17.
