The chase started around York, PA after troopers spotted a truck on Interstate 83 that had been reported stolen by the Fairview Township Police Department.
The officers tried to stop the vehicle but if fled south on I-83, then onto Interstate 695 and then to Charles Street where the vehicle crashed near Cold Spring Lane.
Reed said that no one was injured in the crash and that the boy was taken into custody. He declined to give the driver’s name because he is a juvenile.
