Car at centre of Brisbane teen crash tragedy may have been stolen
Police are investigating whether the car that crashed into a home on Brisbane's northside on Saturday morning, killing a teenage passenger, was stolen.
Investigators have spoken to one of the survivors, who was hospitalised. Police said they also know the identity of the third person in the car, but were yet to take their statement on Sunday morning.
A 15-year-old boy died after the car veered off Appleby Road in Stafford about 2am on Saturday, crashed through a fence, hit a parked car and crashed into a house.
The boy was declared dead at the scene. Another teenage boy who was in the car was later found and taken to Lady Cilento Children's Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Appleby Road was closed between Stafford Road and Redwood Streets and did not reopen until almost 11 hours after the crash.
Investigations are ongoing, but no one is in custody over the crash and no charges have been laid.
Meanwhile, a 37-year-old man has died after being hit by a car while crossing Berrima Street in the Brisbane bayside suburb of Wynnum about 7pm on Saturday.
The female driver of the car was not injured and was assisting police with their inquiries.
Forensic Crash Unit investigations were continuing.
