Police await autopsy results as investigation continues into fatal hit-and-run at Alexandra Hills, near Brisbane

An autopsy is being undertaken today on Katherine Leadbetter to help police determine if a teenager will face more charges over the death of her unborn child following a hit-and-run at Alexandra Hills, near Brisbane on Australia Day.

Ms Leadbetter died with her partner Matthew Field when a 17-year-old male allegedly ran a red light, crashed into a truck and rolled onto them.

Assistant Commissioner Brian Codd said police were awaiting further drug and alcohol testing and autopsy results.

“We will await analysis of the autopsies but also, legal advice in considering any further charges that might be applicable in this case,” he said.
