A 14-year-old boy has been charged over a two-vehicle crash in Brisbane's south-east involving an allegedly stolen car that left three other teenagers in hospital.
Emergency services were called to the intersection of Wynnum and Hemmant Tingalpa Roads just before 4pm on Sunday following reports a white Toyota Corolla had collided with another vehicle and crashed into a power pole.
Police allege the white Toyota had been reported stolen from Wynnum earlier in the day.
The alleged driver of the vehicle, a 14-year-old boy and three passengers in the car, two 15-year-old girls and a 16-year-old boy, were transported to hospital.
One of the girls remains in a critical condition.

The occupants of the other vehicle were not physically injured.
The crash knocked out power for more than 1,200 households in the area for several hours.
The 14-year-old boy has been charged with three counts of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing death or grievous bodily harm, enter premises and commit indictable offence, driving of a motor vehicle without a licence and proceeding through a red traffic light.
He is expected to face the Brisbane Children's Court today.
Police are asking any witnesses or anyone with vision of the incident to come forward.
