Teens Arrested After High-Speed Chase Ends in Collision
Two teenagers are in police custody following a high-speed chase that ended in a crash on Joseph Lane early Saturday morning.
According to reports, the incident began around 3:50 a.m. when officers on patrol along Independence Avenue spotted a car reversing down a side street near Little Canton Supermarket. Police signalled for the vehicle to stop, but the driver instead sped off, prompting a dangerous pursuit through several streets.
The chase came to an abrupt end when the fleeing vehicle collided with another car being driven by a Bendals resident along Joseph Lane.
Police say the driver, who was carrying a black backpack, and his passenger immediately fled on foot. Officers gave chase and apprehended the passenger, a 17-year-old, at the junction of Valley Road and Joseph Lane near the King George grounds. He was detained and taken to St. John’s Police Station.
The driver, a 19-year-old from Bendals, later returned to the scene with his father and surrendered to officers at Gray’s Farm Police Station.
Investigations into the incident remain ongoing.
