The 18-year-old alleged driver of a stolen vehicle involved in a crash that killed Jennifer Board has had 34 further charges laid against him.

Ms Board, 22, died in Townsville on February 5 after she was hit by a Holden Statesman, which had allegedly been following a stolen Hyundai sedan during a suspected vigilante pursuit.

The driver of the stolen vehicle was charged with burglary and stealing, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, attempted burglary and unlawful use of a motor vehicle.

Townsville police say additional charges were made over the weekend for unlawful use, burglary and arson of a motor vehicle.

Police say the arson charge arises from a spate of offending shortly prior to the fatal accident.

The man remains in custody pending his next court appearance.
