Four teenagers have been charged after allegedly causing a dramatic crash on the M1 in a stolen Audi.
Police say the vehicle was driving “at-speed” southbound around 6.30pm last night, before eventually colliding with a number of cars, rolling and landing on its roof in Eagleby.
The crash caused a six-car pile-up and major delays for southbound motorists, while one woman suffered minor injuries and was hospitalised.
Two boys, aged 14 and 15, and two girls, aged 13 and 14, are accused of jumping out the stolen Audi and fleeing the scene.
Police managed to track them down a short distance away and they were all taken into custody.
The white Audi had been stolen from a home on Harmsworth Road, Pacific Pines sometime between 5pm on October 19 and 8am on October 20.
A 15-year-old male who was allegedly driving the Audi has been charged with offences including unlawful use of a motor vehicle, dangerous operation of a vehicle, driving a vehicle without a driver’s licence, and two counts of attempted enter dwelling with intent.
A 14-year-old female has been charged with offences including unlawful use of a motor vehicle.
Both are expected to appear before Brisbane Childrens Court on October 21.
A 14-year-old boy and 13-year-old girl have both been charged with unlawful use of a motor vehicle and are expected to appear before the Beenleigh Childrens Court on October 30.
All four youths are being dealt with under the Youth Justice Act.
Police are urging anyone with information or dashcam vision of the incident to come forward.
