A 35-year-old Toowoomba woman allegedly affected by drugs when she crashed the car she was driving off the Warrego Highway which allegedly left her passenger with serious injuries has been charged.
Nicole Leanne Fogarty was not required to be in Toowoomba Magistrates Court when her case was mentioned on Wednesday, January 24, but was legally represented.
Ms Fogarty has been charged with dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing grievous bodily harm while adversely affected by an intoxicating substance and drug driving arising from the crash near Forest Hill on the afternoon of Sunday, November 13, 2022.
Police claim the car Ms Fogarty was driving was doing between 120 to 130km/h when it left the Warrego Highway and drove into a culvert between the east and westbound lanes before rolling.
Ms Fogarty’s passenger, a 34-year-old Harristown woman, was allegedly thrown from the vehicle and sustained critical injuries and was flown by RACQ LifeFlight helicopter to the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital.
Ms Fogarty has not as yet been called upon to enter any pleas to those charges or to a series of other charges including two counts of possessing dangerous drugs, two of possessing drug utensils, two of failing to take reasonable care in respect of a syringe or needle, and one each of offence to buy or possess S4 or S8 medicines or hazardous poisons and breach of bail condition.
Bouchier Khan Lawyers solicitor Alysha Jacobsen, acting on behalf of Ms Fogarty’s Brisbane-based lawyers, told the court on Wednesday she had been instructed to ask for an adjournment so the brief of evidence could be obtained from Ms Fogarty’s previous lawyers and then to go through that brief.
Magistrate Clare Kelly therefore remanded Ms Fogarty on bail and adjourned the case for mention back in the same court on February 14.
