A father charged over a devastating crash between Mackay and Rockhampton that claimed three lives, including his two-year-old son’s, was ‘freaking out’ about going to jail, court documents have revealed.

According to court documents, Javarn Roy Doyle, 21, told a woman he had no intention of going back to Rockhampton after being released on bail in Brisbane as his solicitor had advised him he was looking at the possibility of 14 years in jail for vehicular manslaughter.

Mr Doyle had his matters mentioned in Rockhampton Magistrates Court on October 12 where he was charged with more than 20 offences, including four counts of dangerous operation of a vehicle causing death or grievous bodily harm while adversely affected by an intoxicating substance.

He was also charged with eight counts of breach of bail condition, and one count each of failure to appear, contravention of a community service order, contravention of a probation order, driver failed to ensure child over six months but under four years was in child restraint, driving without a licence while demerit point suspended, light vehicle must not be driven on a road if defective, wearing of approved seat belts by passengers 16 years or older and offence of driving while relevant drug is present in blood or saliva as the holder of a learner, probationary or provisional licence.

In an objection to bail affidavit by police, filed with the court and viewed by this publication, an arrest warrant for Mr Doyle was issued on February 22 and he was arrested on June 6 in relation to the crash on Marlborough Sarina Road at Clarke Creek on November 11, 2021.

Mr Doyle allegedly had drugs in his system while he was behind the wheel, travelling from Rockhampton to Nebo with his partner Kira Jasperson, their son Izaya Jasperson and two others, when the car left the road near Grave Gully Bridge and collided with a culvert about 10.15pm.

It is understood the vehicle flipped and rolled in a muddy ditch pinning some passengers under the vehicle.

As a result of this accident three occupants died and another sustained serious injuries.

Izaya and a 59-year-old Park Avenue woman were pronounced dead at the scene.
