Two teenagers are facing a string of charges after allegedly taking a stolen car on a joyride across Brisbane's south.

Police say they tried to intercept the car at Eagleby around 11.15pm on Friday but were unsuccessful so tracked it using the PolAir chopper.

The car allegedly hit a police vehicle and another car before a tyre deflation device was deployed.

But the car kept driving on its rims until it came to a stop on the Pacific Motorway at Beenleigh around 3am.

A 19-year-old man has been charged with various driving and drug-related offences and is due to appear in the Beenleigh Magistrates Court on January 25.
