A manslaughter charge has been laid after a nurse was killed in a head-on crash with an allegedly stolen vehicle.
Carron Scott, 60, was driving an orange Toyota Corolla on the Archers St at Woodford, north of Brisbane, about 6.10am on Tuesday when it collided head-on with a Isuzu D-Max utility.
Scott was declared dead at the scene.
The alleged driver of the ute, a 31-year-old man from Ellen Grove, has been charged with manslaughter.
Police allege the car was stolen from a property on McLoughlin Rd in Morayfield, about 30km southeast, earlier that day.
He is accused of running away from the scene of the crash and was found at “a nearby educational facility” soon after, according to police.
Police charged the man with two counts of trespassing and a single count each of manslaughter, unlawful use of a motor vehicle, failing to remain at an incident, disqualified driving and drug driving.
He is expected to appear before Caboolture Magistrates Court on Wednesday.
