Emergency crews arrived at the scene shortly after 9am November 6, where police officers discovered the wreckage of a white Toyota HiLux, which had allegedly been stolen earlier.

Tyack is charged with dangerous driving while adversely affected by an intoxicating substance, unlawful use of a motor vehicle that had been fitted with incorrect number plates, failing to remain at the scene, being unlicensed, driving under the influence, possessing marijuana and a grinder.
The court heard he is also facing multiple charges from Emerald and Rockhampton including unlawful use of a motor vehicle, stealing petrol, possessing drug utensils, evasion, breaching bail and failing to appear in court.
His matters were mentioned in Mackay Magistrates Court on Wednesday where via videolink he pleaded guilty to all charges.
Given the number of charges his matters were listed for a one-hour long plea in February.
