Police have laid further charges against an alleged drink driver who struck three pedestrians with his car in Brisbane City early this morning.
It is alleged at 12.45am a vehicle travelling along Adelaide Street proceeded through a red light and collided with the trio who were crossing towards King George Square near the intersection of Albert Street.
The three 18-year-old pedestrians, two women and one man were taken to the Royal Brisbane and Women's hospital for treatment to non-life-threatening injuries.
The driver was detained by police and after returning a positive roadside test. He was then transported to Roma Street where further testing returned a BAC of more than four times the legal limit, at 0.234%.
A 28-year-old Redbank Plains was initially charged with drink driving and driving whilst disqualified. Further investigations have led to the man being charged with dangerous operation of a vehicle whilst adversely affected by an intoxicating substance.
He is due appear in the Brisbane Magistrates Court on April 26.
