Brisbane Broncos playmaker Ezra Mam is the subject of an ongoing Queensland Police investigation following a multi-vehicle collision in the Brisbane suburb of Bardon. The incident has attracted widespread attention as authorities continue examining the circumstances surrounding the crash, while the National Rugby League (NRL) and the Broncos await the outcome of the investigation.
Emergency services responded to the collision on a Friday afternoon after reports of a crash involving a Ford Ranger, reportedly driven by Mam, and a Toyota Camry operating as an Uber vehicle. The impact caused significant damage to both vehicles and temporarily disrupted traffic as police and paramedics attended the scene.
Police confirmed that an initial roadside saliva test allegedly returned a positive result for an illicit substance. As part of standard procedures, Mam was transported to a hospital where a blood sample was collected for laboratory analysis. Authorities have also alleged that he was driving without a valid licence at the time of the collision. No final determination has been made, and the investigation remains ongoing. The driver of the Toyota Camry and a child passenger sustained minor injuries and were taken to hospital for treatment. Mam also received medical attention for minor injuries.
The Brisbane Broncos confirmed they notified the NRL Integrity Unit shortly after the incident and are cooperating fully with both police and league officials. The NRL has launched its own review, with any potential disciplinary action expected to depend on the findings of the police investigation. Authorities have urged the public to avoid speculation until the investigation is complete.
