Police say the 33-year-old woman was fined for using her phone while behind the wheel

A Queensland woman has been charged for allegedly trying to get out of a traffic violation by blaming it on one of the pilots who died in the Sea World helicopter crash.

Ashley Jenkinson was the pilot of the helicopter which collided with another chopper and plummeted from the air at the Gold Coast Broadwater in January.

Police say the 33-year-old woman was fined for using her phone while behind the wheel in December 15.

She then found Jenkinson’s details in an obituary and nominated him as the driver just one week after his death.

His full name and date of birth were supplied and a ticket was issued in the name of the deceased.

Jenkinson’s wife then contacted the police after receiving the infringement in the mail.

The 33-year-old accused is due to appear in Court next week.

Trump claims Iran’s military largely neutralized; tensions rise with attacks threatening air travel and oil shipping.

President Trump says Iran’s military capability has been largely neutralised, including its navy and air force, as the conflict in the Middle East intensifies. Iranian attacks have threatened commercial air travel and oil shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, raising fears of wider economic fallout.

The U.S. Embassy in Riyadh has faced two attacks, while Gulf states worked to intercept further Iranian strikes. Officials report six U.S. troops killed and more than 700 deaths inside Iran as the exchange of fire escalates.

With global markets watching closely, the region remains on edge as military and diplomatic tensions show no signs of easing.
