A 15-year-old boy has died following a single vehicle collision on Adelaide Avenue, Yarralumla earlier this month.   

About 4.55am on Wedensday 17 April, police and emergency services were called to Adelaide Avenue near State Circle after a white Toyota Camry left the roadway, collided with a concrete barrier, and was subsequently located on its roof in the middle of the road. 

A 15-year-old boy with critical injuries was located near the vehicle. He was transported to hospital where he tragically succumbed to his injuries.  

This is the third fatality on ACT roads this year.  

ACT Policing’s Major Collision Team are investigating the circumstances of the incident.

“A white Toyota Camry was located upturned in the middle of the road and quite clearly had been involved in a very significant motor vehicle accident,” Acting Inspector Mark Richardson said on the day of the accident.

“A young male person was located on the road, a very short distance away from the vehicle and was very badly injured and unresponsive.”

“Subsequent inquiries from a city police revealed that the young male was on bail subject to conditions and was in fact in breach of those bail conditions. And those are conditions related to similar offending.”

Anyone who saw the white Toyota Camry prior to 4.55am on Wednesday morning or who has dash-cam footage of the Camry is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or via the Crime Stoppers ACT website.  Please quote 7726381. Information can be provided anonymously.
