A teenager will remain behind bars until at least February after an alleged hit-and-run left a 75-year-old woman in a critical condition in hospital in Mackay.
The alleged incident occurred about 6:30am on Sunday at Mount Pleasant and the woman, who was in a vehicle, was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries.
The court heard 19-year-old Lazarus Paul Seden was on a return-to-prison warrant and allegedly driving a stolen Toyota LandCruiser without a license at the time.
The alleged hit-and-run was followed by a police pursuit on the Bruce Highway, where the stolen Izuzu MU-X Mr Seden was allegedly driving collided with another vehicle about 2pm.
Two more people, a 70-year-old man and 68-year-old woman were taken to hospital in stable conditions.
Mr Seden was arrested at the scene.
