Fatal Adelaide Avenue crash: Police looking for man and woman in stolen vehicle

ACT Policing is seeking to identify a man and a woman who are believed to have been travelling in the stolen Genesis that picked up the two people involved in a fatal collision in April.

About 4:55am on Wednesday 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.     

One occupant of the vehicle was ejected from the vehicle and was transported to hospital, later dying from his injuries.

Recently, police confirmed that:  

Police have confirmed the involvement of the man and woman in the stolen Genesis, with extensive forensic testing of the recovered vehicle locating DNA not belonging to the owner.  

Police are once again calling for all people involved in this incident – the two occupants of the Genesis, and the two other occupants of the Camry – to come forward.   

Detective Sergeant Jonathan Turkich from ACT Policing’s Major Collision team said police had been extremely happy with the engagement from members of the public following numerous calls for information in relation to this collision.

“Police often need assistance from the public in order to put the final pieces together in an investigation, and the information provided by the public in this investigation has been tremendous,” Detective Sergeant Turkich said.

“We have spoken with a number of people who have provided important information to assist this investigation, and I would like to thank them for coming forward. 

“Police hope to make arrests in this matter very soon, so I would once again urge any of the people who were travelling in either the Camry or the Genesis that terrible night to come forward before police come knocking on your door.”

Anyone with information that can assist police 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.
