Police will be hoping there are no more road deaths on Fatality Free Friday following a horror week on Queensland's roads that has seen 11 people die.

In the latest incident, a 14-year-old was allegedly at the wheel of the stolen car that crashed on Brisbane's bayside, killing the boy in the front passenger seat and injuring four girls, the youngest just 10.

He remains in hospital with injuries from the crash but has been charged with dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing death, unlawful use of a motor vehicle, unlicensed driving and failing to stop for a red traffic light.

The 10-year-old girl has also been charged with unlawful use of a motor vehicle.

In an earlier incident, a one-year-old boy was hit by a car and killed in Chinchilla on Thursday.

He was the sixth child victim of a car accident since Monday night.

The toddler was struck by a reversing car near the entrance to a truck-filled industrial lot on the outskirts of the regional town.

Paramedics pronounced the child dead at the scene and said a 71-year-old man driving the vehicle was taken to hospital suffering "emotional distress".

Six children have died in incidents this week, including four in the one crash earlier in the week.

The tragic incident happened on Tuesday, just south of Kingaroy when mother Charmaine Harris McLeod, 35, and her children Aaleyn, 6, Matilda, 5, Wyatt, 4, and Zaidok, 2, died when their car hit an oncoming truck.

In total, 11 people have been killed on Queensland's roads this week in a horror streak before an annual safety initiative, Fatality Free Friday.

Police Superintendent Dave Johnson says the fatalities are absolutely tragic and they must stop.

"There's no reason to lose that many lives on our roads at any time period," he said.

"We want it to stop right now."

The Queensland Government said on their website that last year 245 people were killed on Queensland roads and more than 5,500 were seriously injured.
