The 38-year-old was allegedly behind the wheel of a Toyota Prado last month when it collided with a road train towing two trailers and a Suzuki hatchback on Brand Highway near Cataby.

Coral Senior and Thelma Clausen, the two women inside the Suzuki, both died in the crash.

It’s understood the charges were upgraded as a result of blood tests.
