A man charged with manslaughter after a 17-year-old motorcyclist died in an alleged hit-and-run remains behind bars.
But Tobias Alexander Fine, 21, is set to apply for bail this week after his matter was heard in Brisbane Magistrates Court on Monday.
Police allege Fine drove a Toyota HiLux utility dangerously in Waterford West, in Brisbane’s south, and struck a dirt bike being ridden by two boys on Saturday night.
The 17-year-old rider died at the scene while his 19-year-old passenger sustained serious injuries and was taken to hospital.
Fine allegedly fled the scene without assisting the pair.
