Police in Australia has released footage from a dashcam that shows the wreckage caused by two 16-year-olds allegedly driving stolen cars.
The footage from Dec. 22 shows a Holden Cruze, which officers say was stolen, overtaking a Kluger on a highway near Coolbie.
A Mitsubishi Challenger, also allegedly stolen, tries to attempt the same move and narrowly misses crashing into an oncoming truck.
The action sends the driver of the Kluger off the road, and the car rolls repeatedly.
“This could have been a significantly more serious incident than what it was, as it is we have three elderly people who have suffered potentially life-influencing injuries,” Detective Inspector Dave Miles said.
The teens in the Cruze turned around to pick up the people in the Challenger, but didn’t check on the people inside the flipped car.
“It shows they have a complete lack of empathy and a lack of remorse for what has happened,” Detective Inspector Miles said. “In essence there are people there who have been and were significantly injured and just left them there without rendering any assistance whatsoever.”
A 16-year-old girl was arrested recently in connection to the crash, as was a 16-year-old boy.
They were both levied with multiple charges, including unlawful use of a motor vehicle.
Police said anyone with information on the events should come forward.
