A 12-year-old boy was taken into custody at the scene without incident, while four other youths allegedly ran off into bushland.

They were arrested a short time later with assistance from the dog squad.

All of the children sustained minor injuries in the crash, with Queensland Ambulance Service taking four people to Townsville University Hospital in stable conditions.
