An Australian teenage driver trying to avoid a booze bus killed himself and his 2-year-old daughter in a fiery car crash in Tasmania on Thursday night.
Ruby Rose Peart was trapped in her car seat as fire engulfed the wreckage of the car her father Alex Peart, 19, slammed into a power pole at Sorrel, north of Hobart, just before 10pm Thursday.
The impact of the collision tore the Holden Vectra in two.
Peart and Ruby's mother Xanna Rose Weavell were thrown from the front of the car, which killed Peart instantly.
But in the severed rear of the wreckage, Ruby remained strapped in her car seat.
