Hooning Horror: Woman Killed, Child Hurt in Fatal Crash
6 Apr
Summary
- A holidaying Victorian woman died after a crash on Saturday night.
- A 17-year-old driver allegedly drove the wrong way with headlights off.
- Police are investigating a link to a large-scale hooning event.
A fatal crash on Saturday night in Logan has prompted the mayor to demand stronger policing and tougher laws against hooning events. A 51-year-old woman, visiting Queensland from Victoria for the Easter break, lost her life in the collision.
She was a passenger in a Ford Focus that collided head-on with a ute. The impact threw the Focus off the road, critically injuring her two-year-old grand-niece who was also in the vehicle. The ute, driven by a 17-year-old girl, was reportedly traveling up the wrong side of School Road in Logan Reserve with its headlights off.
Authorities are investigating a potential link between the fatal incident and a large-scale hooning event that police were aware of in the vicinity at the time. The mayor's call highlights ongoing concerns about street racing and dangerous driving practices.
