Boy, 15, is thrown from stolen car and killed near Parliament house after several ‘fail to stop for police’ incidents

A teenage boy has died after he was thrown from a stolen car that rolled in a horrific single vehicle crash.

The 15-year-old crashed a white Toyota Camry on Adelaide Avenue, near Parliament house in Canberra, on Wednesday morning.

ACT Emergency Services arrived at the scene about 5am where paramedics treated the boy before he was rushed to hospital.

Police said the car ‘left the roadway, collided with a concrete barrier, and was subsequently located on its roof in the middle of the road’. 

The 15-year-old was found about 50 to 100 metres from the vehicle.

Sergeant Mark Richardson said ‘he was very badly injured and unresponsive’. 

He was transported to Canberra Hospital in a critical condition, where he ‘tragically succumbed to his injuries’. 

It is understood that the vehicle was reported stolen several days prior and was involved in several ‘fail to stop for police’ incidents.

Mr Richardson said the teen was on bail and in breach of those conditions, which relate to similar offending.

‘The vehicle was absolutely destroyed,’ he said.

‘Police are unsure of any other involvement of any other vehicles or any other persons, and that obviously forms part of the inquiries that out major collision unit are undertaking.’

The entrance of Capital Circle from Adelaide Avenue northbound was closed for several hours while police examined the scene.

Investigations are ongoing. 

Anyone with information, including dash-cam footage, is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
