A 14-year-old boy has been charged following a fatal crash at Manoora yesterday.
The vehicle was sighted several times in the area before the driver lost control of the white hatchback at around 1.10am while travelling south on Pease Street.
The vehicle travelled across the north bound lanes before crashing into a tree, near Saltwater Creek.
Another boy travelling in the car died at the scene.
Police will also allege the boy entered a residence on Gatton Street at Manunda, stole the keys to the car and drove off earlier the same night.
The 14-year-old driver has been charged with manslaughter. He has also been charged with three counts of dangerous driving causing grievous bodily harm whilst adversely affected by an intoxicating substance and one count each of burglary, unlawful use of a motor vehicle and driving without a licence.
He has been denied bail and will appear in Cairns Childrens Court this week.

He appeared in Cairns Childrens Court today.
