Man Accused of Causing Carnage in Singleton Has Had his Case Adjourned

BY JESSICA ROUSE

Rodney Johnson didn't appear in Singleton Local Court this morning to face the charges against him for the horror crash in Singleton yesterday.

The 29-year-old had his matter mentioned and then adjourned until December 6 in Newcastle Local Court- a psychiatric assessment has also been ordered.

He was formally refused bail and remains behind bars.

Johnson is accused of stealing a semi-trailer from Murrurundi and driving it erratically to Singleton where he crashed into several buildings and cars, injuring eight people in the process.

Meanwhile, the 67-year-old man who was critically injured, is now in a serious but stable condition.
