A 13-year-old boy in North Carolina stole a car and led deputies on a high-speed chase that ended with a crash into a utility pole on Wednesday, authorities said.
Deputies responded to a call about a Black male in a ski mask suspected of stealing a vehicle in Elizabethtown, the Bladen County Sheriff’s Office said.
One deputy spotted the stolen vehicle right outside the city and attempted to pull the driver over.
The driver, however, sped away, reaching speeds of more than 100 mph at times, according to the sheriff’s office.
