The 70-year-old bus driver from Underwood has been issued a notice to appear in court on one count of careless driving causing death.
It is alleged he was behind the wheel of a bus being driven along Edward St that left the road and struck Ms Cameron before colliding with a building just before 5pm on March 8.
Emergency services arrived at the scene a short time later where the 18-year-old Hemmant woman was declared deceased.
The driver of the bus and four passengers sustained minor injuries and were taken to hospital for assessment.
The Courier-Mail understands the driver has been suspended with pay since the incident.
Ms Cameron had just had her eyelashes done and was walking out of a beauty salon, on her way to have cocktails with her aunty, when she was struck.
She was farewelled in an emotional funeral service where mourners remembered her as “vivacious” and “audacious”.
Her boyfriend Hayden Mckinlay, spoke of the young couple’s plans for the future.
“I will forever miss our little calls, I will wait every day for the phone to ring just to hear your voice, the last words we said to each other were ‘I love you’ and we truly meant it,” he said.
“We had so much of our lives planned together, buying our first home next year, trips away … Tia wanted to go to New Zealand at the end of the year to see the snow and her family.
“Our life together was so happy.”
A number of streets in the Brisbane CBD were shut down in late April to allow police to conduct re-enactments in a bid to piece together how the fatal collision occurred.
Following extensive investigations by the Forensic Crash Unit, the 70-year-old bus driver was issued a notice to appear on one count of careless driving causing death.
He is expected to appear at the Brisbane Magistrates Court on June 26, 2024.
