Floral tributes were laid at the crash site, with bouquets attached to a fence near the Murrumba Downs junction.

Queensland Premier David Crisafulli also paid tribute, vowing to get tough laws on juvenile crime by Christmas.

Crisafulli campaigned strongly against youth crime before winning the Oct. 26 state election.

His Liberal National Party government said on Friday it had instructed the Department of Justice to begin drafting the Making Queensland Safer laws, which are due to be introduced to parliament later in November.

These include “adult crime, adult time” laws and eliminating detention as a last resort for juvenile offenders.

The Premier said while the investigation into the fatal crash was in its early stages, the news of what happened would be “horrifying” for Queenslanders.

“A family comes to terms with the loss of a loved one and the thoughts and prayers of an entire state are with them – they are owed answers,” he said in a statement.

Opposition Leader and Murrumba MP Steven Miles said his community was hurt by the “terrible incident”, offering his support to the victim’s family before targeting the premier.

“We have already seen David Crisafulli rush to politicize this tragedy. I won’t do that, but this has affected my local community,” Miles said.

Franzidis was trapped in the Toyota and died at the scene, despite attempts by paramedics to revive her.

The Audi also allegedly hit an unmarked police vehicle at the intersection, hospitalizing two officers who were later released.

Police said a firearm was found in the Audi.

The 16-year-old was taken to hospital and placed under police guard.

He was later charged with manslaughter, armed robbery and unlawful use of a motor vehicle, as well as two counts of assault occasioning bodily harm.

He was due to appear in Brisbane Children’s Court on Friday.
