A man is dead and a group of teenagers are facing serious charges after a crash involving an allegedly stolen car and a motor scooter east of Brisbane.
The 59-year-old rider was rushed to hospital following the crash at Wynnum West about 9.20am on Monday but died that evening.
Police will allege a group of teenagers travelling in two vehicles fled the scene.
Officers believe the Nissan X Trail involved in the accident was stolen from a nearby address that morning.
It was found at the site and has been seized.
The four accused were found at a nearby address shortly after and taken into custody.
A second car, also allegedly stolen, was located close by.
The Nissan is believed to have crossed to the wrong side of the road before the crash, Inspector Lindsay Kilpatrick said on Monday.
"It's both disappointing and frightening," Insp Kilpatrick said.
"It's a tragic event for the male rider, his family, the local community, the witnesses, the emergency services that have to come to these events."
The alleged driver of the car involved in the crash is a 15-year-old boy who faces charges including dangerous driving causing death and failing to remain at the scene.
A 16-year-old girl has also been charged with dangerous driving causing death and unlawful use of a motor vehicle.
Two other teens, a 15-year-old boy and a 15-year-old girl, face charges including unlawful use of a motor vehicle.
They will appear before Brisbane Children's Court.
Opposition leader David Crisafulli said Queenslanders must be protected as he called for legislative change in the juvenile justice system.
"Nothing is going to change until the laws change - we are going to be back here again," Mr Crisafulli said.
"If you don't have consequences for actions, you are letting everybody down."
Deputy Premier Steven Miles said the "vast bulk" of young people who come into contact with the youth justice system do not reoffend, but there is a small group of recidivist offenders.
"We will continue to take the advice of our police about how we can support them to reduce reoffending," he said.
