The 14-year-old was thrown nine metres, and the 15-year-old, who suffered the worst injuries, was found 31 metres away from the collision.<\/p>\n
The court documents reveal graphic details about the injuries, including that the older boy suffered damage to a major artery, a leg broken in three places, a fractured hip and severed nerves.<\/p>\n
The younger boy suffered partial amputations to several fingers on his left hand, broken ribs, and had bruising to his lungs, liver and spleen.<\/p>\n
‘I think I hit one of those kids man’<\/p>\n
After hitting the boys, Hazell drove on at speed towards Manuka, where he came to a stop, with smoke coming from the front of the car.<\/p>\n
Hazell ran towards the nearby shops, but was stopped by members of the public who enacted a citizen’s arrest.<\/p>\n

Shortly afterwards, when police arrived, a body-worn camera captured Hazell’s voice saying, “I hope I haven’t f***ing hurt anyone”.<\/p>\n
“I think there’s two kids man, I think I f***ing hit one of them,” he said.<\/p>\n
“Oh f***, oh f***.<\/p>\n
“I think I hit one of those kids, man, I really think I f***ing hit one of those kids.<\/p>\n
“Oh no, please God no.”<\/p>\n
Blood tests showed that at the time Hazell had a level of methamphetamine in his blood of 0.06 milligrams per litre, with 0.02 milligrams of amphetamine per litre.<\/p>\n
An expert report found that based on the observations of his driving, video footage and the level of drugs in his system, he was incapable of being in proper control of a car.<\/p>\n
Hazell to meet victims face-to-face<\/p>\n
Hazell entered his pleas of guilty in July.<\/p>\n
Even though he has not been sentenced yet, he has asked to be part of the ACT’s restorative justice system.<\/p>\n
In the program, offenders get to hear the impact of their crime from the victims and can be asked questions by the victims.<\/p>\n
It is also an opportunity for an offender to show remorse.<\/p>\n
In this case, two of the victims and their families have agreed to take part, although one victim has declined.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It has been revealed that police were tracking a stolen car that hit two school boys outside St…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":134517,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[2666,8241,64,63,20762,2667,5865,1108,1154,1105,36015,57596,7812,2289,2668,92938,44,59557,1158,92939,20637,92936,92935,70264,41403,92934,3069,92937],"class_list":["post-134516","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-australia","tag-act","tag-airtag","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-boys","tag-canberra","tag-car","tag-court","tag-crash","tag-guilty","tag-hit","tag-injured","tag-justice","tag-local-news","tag-local-stories","tag-manuka","tag-news","tag-pleaded","tag-police","tag-restorative","tag-school","tag-st-eddies","tag-st-edmunds-college","tag-stolen","tag-supreme","tag-tayler-hazell","tag-teenagers","tag-tracked"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134516","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=134516"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134516\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/134517"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=134516"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=134516"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=134516"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
