Brian Bose (BB) was involved in a serious car accident on Coronation Drive in Brisbane. His car collided with a pedestrian, Sandra Schmerz (SS), who was crossing the road near the Regatta Hotel. While Sandra did not suffer any serious physical injuries, she has developed Post Traumatic Stress Disorder as a result of the accident. She wishes to bring a personal action in negligence against Brian, seeking $550,000 in damages.

When the police arrived at the scene of the accident, they located a still warm 'ice pipe' on the passenger seat of Brian's car and tests subsequently established that Brian had been driving while under the influence of the drug colloquially called 'ice'. They have charged Brian with 'Dangerous operation of a vehicle' under s 328A(2)(a) of the Criminal Code 1899 (Qld).
