Lindsay Francis Selby, a Brisbane bus driver, has failed in his bid to overturn a conviction for careless driving causing the death of 18-year-old Tia Cameron. The incident occurred in the Brisbane CBD in March 2024, and Selby was found guilty by a magistrate in 2025.
On August 4, 2026, the Queensland District Court dismissed Selby's appeal against the conviction. The court upheld the original finding that Selby's driving fell below the standard expected of a reasonable driver, leading to the tragic death of Cameron.
Selby had argued that the magistrate erred in his assessment of the evidence, but the appeal judge found no legal or factual basis to overturn the decision. The conviction and penalty, which included a fine and license disqualification, remain in place.
The case has drawn attention to road safety around buses in the city, with authorities reminding drivers to exercise extra caution near large vehicles and pedestrians.
