The only survivor of a fatal three car crash on a Queensland highway has been charged with three counts of murder.

Rafferty Rolfe, 25, of Yandina, is accused of following and attempting to ram a Nissan Navara, which veered onto the wrong side of the Bruce Highway at Federal, south of Gympie, and into the path of an oncoming Great Wall utility on Friday.

Retiree Terry Bishop, 65, who was driving the Navara and 25-year-old passenger Gypsy Satterley died in the crash, along with 38-year-old Jessica Townley who was driving the utility.

Queensland Police confirmed on Tuesday that Rolfe, who is under police guard in hospital being treated for his injuries, has now been charged with their murders.

Rolfe was previously charged with armed robbery with actual violence, dangerous operation of a vehicle, unlawful possession of a motor vehicle with intent to deprive, stealing, evasion and driving without a licence while disqualified as a repeat offender.

He has been accused of stealing an Isuzu MU-X SUV in Gympie’s main street 12 hours before the fatal crash after threatening a mother and three children at knifepoint.

Rolfe’s matter will be heard in the Maroochydore Magistrates Court on Tuesday.
