Police allege the Fortitude Valley man was driving a ute in the wrong direction along the northbound lanes at Rochedale on June 3 when he crashed into a hatchback.
Emergency services were called to the crash, near the Mount Capalaba exit, and rushed a 61-year-old Maroochydore man to Princess Alexandra hospital, where he died.
The 63-year-old female driver of the hatchback was taken to the same hospital with serious injuries.
On Wednesday, a 29-year-old Fortitude Valley man, who police allege was the sole occupant of the ute, was arrested in Good Night, south-east of Bundaberg.
He was charged with manslaughter and was due to appear in the Bundaberg Magistrates Court on Thursday.
