A 16-year-old girl was uninjured in the crash.
Police took her into custody and no charges have been laid.

A short time later, emergency services were called to another part of Mount Louisa where a car crashed through a fence on Santa Lucia Dr at 11.20am.
QPS confirmed that this vehicle wasn’t stolen.
A Queensland Ambulance spokeswoman said they transported a patient to Townsville University Hospital in a stable condition.

She will appear in Townsville Magistrates Court on July 6.
