Matthew John Edgley, 42, was charged with one count of driving without due care.

A 4WD towing a caravan, two cars and a Woolworths delivery truck were all involved in the crash, which left three people trapped.

After the initial collision between the truck and one of the cars, the car was redirected onto the Bruce Highway where another collision allegedly occurred.

As a result of the second crash, the 4WD reportedly swerved across the concrete median strip into traffic, leading to a head-on collision with the fourth vehicle.

The truck came to a rest on its side on the edge of the highway.

Mr Edgley’s case was adjourned to July 25, 2023.
