An 18-year-old who chose to drive through a fatal crash scene, forcing police officers to dash out of the way, has been arrested.
Instead of doing a U-turn, the driver allegedly drove through the scene of a fatal crash at Fernvale Road in Brassall west of Brisbane at around 1:40am on Sunday (June 15).
The Queensland Police Service alleges the driver of the Holden VE Commodore ute narrowly missed Forensic Crash Unit officers as well as personnel from other agencies.

Footage shared by the QPS shows the vehicle passing over debris on the road and travelling right past the crash scene at what appears to be a high rate of speed without stopping.
The QPS says that following subsequent investigations, officers attended a Rowland Terrace, Coalfall address on Sunday, when it located the vehicle and arrested its driver.
He has been charged with driving a motor vehicle without a licence, driving without a number plate attached, and endangering a police officer while driving a motor vehicle.
The 18-year-old was remanded in custody and will face Ipswich Magistrates Court on June 18.
