A teenager has been arrested over a horror crash that killed a woman when the young driver allegedly ran a red light in a stolen Audi before crashing into her car.

Emergency services responded to the scene and quickly worked to free the 69-year-old woman from the Toyota, but were unable to save her.
The 16-year-old driver of the allegedly stolen Audi was later arrested and taken to the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital with significant leg injuries.
He is currently under police guard in the hospital.
Queensland police are investigating whether the teenager allegedly ran a red light before the Audi crashed into the Toyota sedan.
Chief Superintendent Adam Guild said the killing spree began when the 16-year-old male offender allegedly hijacked a car at gunpoint from a female victim.
Police set up cordons and patrols in the Moreton Bay area to locate the allegedly stolen vehicle, he said, but the blue Audi sedan crashed at the McClintock-Dohles Rocks Road intersection.

Another resident, Todd Whisson, who lives on Dohles Rocks Road, said she was about to start her art class when one of her students saw a car following her for several miles.
“So she came to my house to park for class and the car kept going and she thought, ‘Oh, that’s good, they’re gone,'” Mr. Whisson said.
