A bus driver charged after a Brisbane CBD crash in which an 18-year-old woman died has been abused while leaving court.
Lindsay Francis Selby, 70, was also targeted by the victim's supporters outside Brisbane Magistrates Court on Wednesday in heated scenes.
Emotions boiled over as Selby appeared in court for the first time over the March 8 peak-hour crash.
Police allege Selby was driving a bus that mounted the kerb after 5pm during peak hour, pinning pedestrian Tia Cameron against a building in the CBD.
Cameron, an administration worker, died at the scene while four bus passengers were treated for minor injuries.
Months later, Selby was charged with careless driving causing death.
Magistrate Ross Mack pushed Selby's mention on Wednesday back half an hour as a large group of Cameron's supporters arrived in court for the matter.
The courtroom was packed with many forced to stand when Selby appeared, including the victim's many supporters who were wearing T-shirts with Cameron's picture.
Selby was abused as he left the courtroom, prompting the magistrate to ask whether security was required but his defence declined.
Selby's supporters shielded him as he exited.
The 70-year-old was insulted again as he left the building, with the victim's supporters following him down the street.
Selby did not enter a plea during his brief mention.
The court heard a forensic crash report was still being prepared and not expected to be tabled until August 21.
His matter was then adjourned until September 4.
