The crane driver at the centre of a police hunt has handed himself in.
He had been confronted with worldwide publicity of his terrifying ride down Brisbane Road Redbank on Wednesday night when his crane ripped out electrical wires and Pay TV cables as well as splitting an electricity pole in two outside the Commercial Hotel.
The driver disappeared towards Goodna quicker than the pub patrons could say: "Let's have another beer".
Now, Workplace Health and Safety Officials are investigating the matter and the Goodna Police are also considering laying charges.
Local residents are asking if this driver is still working for the Origin Alliance Project and if and when he will be stood down for his death-defying antics in the main street of Redbank.
Good questions indeed!

Howard as head of the NRL? You've got to be joking.
Fair dinkum.
Just when the buffoons running the National Rugby League are trying to get over another terrible year, they hatch a devious plot to resurrect John Howard as the boss of the NRL.
Little Johnny may have some skills, but running the major football code in Australia doesn't seem to be one of them.
David Gallop should give the game away if this is the best he can do to revitalise this national icon.
Prime Minister Howard was booed off every football oval he attended in Australia and you don't have to be Einstein to figure out the same would happen if he became the NRL boss.

Ipswich City Council set to declare extended koala protection areas
(Courtesy BTQ 7)
Ipswich City Council is preparing new maps to extend koala protection areas across the city, including existing zones as well as significant adjacent areas identified for koala food tree planting.
Several investigation areas have been identified to further examine additional areas for possible protection.
This is on top of Ipswich's "one-for-one" replacement policy adopted in 2007 which requires all developers to replace trees removed during the development process, whether or not they are koala-friendly trees.
Ipswich is Queensland's most koala friendly city.
