Teen driver crashes at Peregian

By Margaret Maccoll

Peregian Beach residents in Lowry Street were woken early Friday morning when an out of control car driven by a 16-year-old learner driver with teenage passengers crashed into a parked car.

Coolum Police relieving senior sergeant Ben Cox said police attended the scene about 3.30am, along with ambulance officers and Queensland Fire and Rescue Service.

He said there were no injuries recorded and no drink driving involved.

“He was going too quick and oversteered – unable to correct and crashed into a parked car,“ he said.

Snr Sgt Cox said a report was still being prepared on the accident.

He said the driver could be given a caution, a fine for driving unaccompanied or the matter could go to court.
