A 44-year-old man has been charged following investigations into a serious crash at Banana yesterday morning.

Investigations suggest that a motorcycle and a car were travelling in the same direction on Baralaba-Banana Road just after 9am on January 15 when the car went to overtake the motorcycle. The sedan clipped the rear of the motorcycle causing the rider to fall and sustain life threatening injuries.

The 50-year-old Moura man was airlifted to Brisbane for medical treatment.

The driver of the car was later issued a notice to appear for driving under the influence and disqualified driving. The 44-year-old Woorabinda man will appear in Biloela Magistrates Court on February 12.

Investigations are continuing.
