A 15-year-old boy has been charged following investigations into a fatal e-bike crash in Mountain Creek late last month.
Officers from the Sunshine Coast Child Protection and Investigation Unit arrested the Buderim boy yesterday, after an eight-year-old boy died on October 30.
Emergency services were called to a bike path near the Kawana Way and Sunshine Motorway interchange about 3.36pm following reports of a crash between two boys riding e-bikes.
The eight-year-old was transported to Sunshine Coast University Hospital in a critical condition but sadly died from his injuries later that evening.
The 15-year-old has been charged with one count each of dangerous operation of vehicle causing death, unlicensed driving, unregistered vehicle and uninsured vehicle.
He is due to appear in Maroochydore Children’s Court on November 26.
