A Costly Joyride For 16 Year Old
posted (August 23, 2013)

There was a dramatic police chase resulting in a frightening vehicle accident on Coney Drive this morning.  It happened around 9:30 when police were chasing a flatbed truck that had collided into a parked vehicle and then shot off.   Well, it turns out the driver of the vehicle was a 16 year old who was on a joyride.  It seems he had stolen the vehicle out of his father’s garage on Logwood Street the night before and had been whipping up and down Coney Drive from the night before.  Well his luck ran out when he skated off the road this morning and flipped the vehicle over.  It landed in a drain, and had it not been for a solid steel rollbar, he might have been crushed inside.  But he wasn’t; instead he was arrested by police pending charges.  The bad news for his dad is that he was holding the vehicle for a friend in the states.
