She is the third person to be arrested for the incident on Saturday night where the allegedly stolen Honda was involved in a police pursuit and crash that left a 17-year-old boy dead.

Highway patrol officers engaged the car at around 11.55pm on the New England Highway just north of Newcastle and became involved in a chase when it refused to stop.
