Hoon Drivers meet Their match
Posted by crafty
A pair of Brisbane road hoons has been sent to jail after a street drag race left a taxi driver seriously injured.
Liam James Hanna, 21, of Tingalpa, and Matthew Peter Boland, 28, of Wishart, were both drunk behind the wheel when they made a snap decision to race each other along Mt Gravatt Capalaba Road at Wishart on April 11, 2006.
Brisbane’s District Court heard the pair had reached double the 60km/h speed limit when Boland decided to pull out of the contest.
Hanna, however, continued to speed around a bend and eventually lost control.
An oncoming taxi, being driven by Jaswant Singh, was hit after Hanna’s Ford Falcon struck a concrete traffic island and became airborne.
