A stolen car has allegedly caused a multi-vehicle crash that’s left a teenage passenger fighting for life on the Gold Coast.
An allegedly stolen black Kia carrying four teenagers inside crashed with a Camry on the Gold Coast Highway at Palm Beach just before 12am today
That Camry was sent crashing into a nearby bus.
“He has driven that vehicle at speed into the rear of another car. That car has been catapulted into a Surfside bus,” Superintendent Peter Miles said.
A 16-year-old boy, who was a passenger in the Kia, was taken to hospital with a significant head injury.
Two teenage girls, who were also passengers, and the 15-year-old alleged driver were all taken to hospital in a stable condition.
Police said the 15-year-old is known to them.
The driver of the Camry and the driver and passengers in the bus escaped with minor injuries.
“It could have been so much worse, this particular incident, we could have been looking at five deaths. Fortunately, we’re not,” Miles said.
Police alleged the black Kia was stolen from Coral Sea Court in Burleigh Waters on Thursday night.
A 15-year-old boy from Robina was charged with one count of unlawful use of a motor vehicle.
The two teenage girls were dealt with under the Youth Justice Act.
