Boy, 13, admits causing Maryborough crash in stolen Mercedes that killed three women including a 17-year-old girl
A 13-year-old boy has admitted causing a crash that killed three women while driving a stolen Mercedes.
The boy – who cannot be identified due to his age – crashed into a Holden, killing Kelsie Davies, 17, and church pastor Michale Chandler, 29, in Maryborough, Queensland, in April.
The impact also left Kaylah Behrens, a passenger in the Holden, fighting for life in hospital. The church friends were on their way home from seeing a movie when disaster struck.
The force of the crash also sent the vehicle into a Mazda, killing the driver, 52-year-old nurse Sheree Robertson, who was driving home after work.
