The Brisbane bus driver allegedly responsible for the death of a teenage girl sat expressionless as footage of his CBD crash in 2024 was played on repeat in court on Tuesday.
Lindsay Francis Selby arrived at Brisbane Magistrates Court in a maroon button-up shirt before 9am for his trial, the 70-year-old charged with driving without due care and attention causing death.
More than a dozen family and friends of his then-18-year-old alleged victim, Tia Cameron, were in attendance.

The Brisbane City Council bus Selby had been driving on March 8, 2024, mounted an Edward Street footpath about 23 kilometres an hour, pinning Cameron against the wall of the Anzac Square Arcade building.
She died at the scene.
About 40 people turned up for Selby’s trial on Tuesday, the case moved to a larger room to accommodate the crowd.
“Not guilty, your honour,” Selby said when asked how he would plead, his only words in the courtroom that morning.
CCTV of the crash was played from multiple angles, showing the bus turned left sharply to avoid cars in front on it on Edward Street after failing to slow down.
Sobs could be heard as the footage was broadcast on large screens.
