Police have charged a man with murder after a 13-year-old girl was fatally struck by a vehicle in the Mount Isa suburb of Pioneer early on Saturday morning.
It’s alleged there was a large disturbance involving multiple people on Delacour Drive around 2am.
Police said the man drove a vehicle directly into the crowd and struck a 13-year-old girl. She sustained significant head injuries and died at the scene.
A 52-year-old Pioneer man has since been charged with murder. He is due to appear in Mount Isa Magistrates Court on Monday.
