Teenage boy and driver hospitalised after car hits Brisbane house

A car crashed into a two-storey home in Stafford Heights, Brisbane, on Saturday morning while a tenant was inside. A teenage boy and the driver were taken to hospital in stable condition; police are investigating how the crash happened.

Emergency services were called to Trouts Road at about 11.10am. The boy sustained a neck injury and was taken to Prince Charles Hospital, while the driver had minor injuries and went to the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital. The car became lodged in the wall above a garage, and firefighters worked to stabilise the building before it was towed away. Trouts Road and Flockton Road, which had been closed, have reopened.
