Man accused of car exhaust rape

A man has been charged with attempted murder after allegedly putting a woman in a car with a hose from the exhaust pipe feeding into the vehicle, and then raping her.

Police said the 60-year-old woman fell asleep in her home in Bundaberg between 6pm (AEST) on Sunday and 3am yesterday after feeling odd following a meal.

She was woken by a man who allegedly put her in a car where a hose had been fed into the vehicle from the exhaust pipe.

It's alleged the woman was raped before being able to leave the vehicle.

A 62-year-old man has been charged with attempted murder, administering a stupefying drug, deprivation of liberty and two counts of rape.

He will appear in the Bundaberg Magistrates' Court tomorrow.
