In brief
Local police have continued their blitz on Noosa North Shore, with 157 random breath tests and 13 tickets issued during a two-hour operation.
Twelve people were caught speeding, with one driver clocking in at more than 20km/h over the speed limit.
One ticket was issued for a defective vehicle and one ticket was issued for failing to produce a licence.
Police said they received a complaint of a nude male on the beach. A warning was issued to a man.
Police also said a number of complaints were received in regards to hoons doing “donuts” and “wheelies” after dark.
Noosa Heads officer in charge Senior Sergeant Steve McReight said local police will increase patrols to help stop after-dark hoons tearing up the beach.
“It’s dangerous for a number of reasons. There are rocks, tides and it’s a dangerous combination in the dark,” he said.
Crash Update
Police are awaiting the results of a blood sample analysis from the 63-year-old woman who crashed into two tourists in May.
The two male German nationals were hit when the woman’s car crashed through a roundabout at the intersection of Hastings Street and Noosa Parade at about 3pm on 26 May, before colliding with a tree.
Both men and the driver were taken to hospital. One man is believed to have suffered back and neck injuries while the second man is believed to have lost his leg as a result of his injuries.
It is understood police are considering charging the driver with the dangerous operation of a vehicle causing grievous bodily harm.
