Floral tributes have been laid at the crash scene, with bouquets attached to a fence near the Murrumba Downs intersection.
Queensland Premier David Crisafulli also paid tribute, vowing to ensure tough laws for youth crime would be in place by Christmas.
Crisafulli had campaigned hard on youth crime before winning the state election on October 26.
His Liberal National Party government on Friday said it had instructed the Department of Justice to begin drafting the Making Queensland Safer Laws to be introduced to parliament later in November.
They include “adult crime, adult time” laws and removing detention as a last resort for juvenile offenders.
The premier said while the fatal crash investigation was in its early stages, news of what had unfolded would be “harrowing” for Queenslanders.
“A family is coming to terms with the loss of a loved one and the thoughts and prayers of an entire state are with them – they are owed answers,” he said in a statement.
Opposition Leader and Murrumba MP Steven Miles said his community was hurting over the “terrible incident”, offering his support to the victim’s family before taking aim at the premier.
“We’ve already seen David Crisafulli rush to politicise this tragedy. I won’t be doing that but this has affected my local community,” Miles said.
Franzidis was trapped in the Toyota and died at the scene despite paramedics’ attempts to resuscitate her.
The Audi also allegedly hit an unmarked police vehicle at the intersection, hospitalising two officers who were later released.
Police said a firearm was found in the Audi.
The 16-year-old was taken to hospital and placed under police guard.
He was later charged with manslaughter, armed robbery and unlawful use of a motor vehicle as well as two counts of assault occasioning bodily harm.
He was due to appear in Brisbane Children’s Court on Friday.
