00:02A scene of carnage in the dead of night.
00:06Police were called to Hoppers Crossing just after midnight.
00:09Wreckage from a horror crash strewn along Derrimut Road.
00:14This is a shocking circumstance that could have resulted in multiple fatalities.
00:20CCTV cameras captured the moment a stolen car carrying seven teenagers flipped.
00:25Police say the occupants had been pursuing an innocent motorist in a carjacking attempt,
00:31driving aggressively, reaching 180 kilometres an hour.
00:36They then deliberately hit the car in front.
00:39In doing so, the Skoda has lost control, collided into the rear of two innocent parties,
00:46again just travelling along Derrimut Road.
00:48A 15-year-old boy was ejected from the back seat, dying at the scene.
00:52Three occupants have been arrested, one under police guard in hospital.
00:57More are still on the run.
00:59Several occupants of the car have been decamped and ran from the scene,
01:04leaving the 15-year-old to die in a cowardly act.
01:07Luckily, other motorists only suffered minor harm.
01:11At the speeds these cars were travelling, police are astonished that no one else was killed.
01:16It's not just the fact that other motorists were on the road,
01:20but the fact this crash happened so close to people's homes.
01:25This is not a PlayStation game where you can hit reset and start again.
01:29This is real lives, real situations that cannot be undone.
01:32This witness rushed to assist those involved shortly after the crash.
01:37Disbelief, just saddened for the families of all involved.
01:41Those that knew the 15-year-old boy wonder why he was involved.
01:46He didn't seem like a bad dude.
01:48It was just maybe the people he was around with, the way he grew up.
01:54It can really change someone.
01:55A change with devastating consequences.
