A truck driver accused of causing a crash that killed a nurse and senior patient in the back of an ambulance at Stanwell in October 2021 is set to stand trial before Christmas.

Timothy Lee Wilson, 43, pleaded not guilty in Rockhampton District Court on December 1, 2022 to one count of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing the death of 65-year-old Maryborough nurse Ray Wyeth and 87-year-old patient Martyn House, who were both in the back of the ambulance.

It is alleged Mr Wilson was the driver of a truck that collided with the rear of the stationary ambulance after it stopped at a red light for roadworks on the Capricorn Highway just after noon on October 11, 2021.

Mr Wilson’s matter was mentioned in Rockhampton District Court on September 22, where the court heard the matter would be in a position to go to trial on November 6.

Mr Wilson’s solicitor, Rowan King, said an expert report should be provided within the next week or two.

“If any issues arise we will let the court know at the earliest opportunity,” he said.

Judge Jeff Clarke listed Mr Wilson’s matter for trial on November 6 and his bail was enlarged.

Judge Clarke also listed the matter for a further trial review on October 13.
