CHESAPEAKE, VA : Norfolk teen driving stolen vehicle leads trooper on traffic pursuit before crashing on Tuesday, 3rd November, 2020

A 17-year-old from Norfolk is facing multiple charges after leading a state trooper on a traffic pursuit while driving a stolen vehicle, police say.

The incident began when the trooper, operating stationary radar on I-64 west, near the Chesapeake/Virginia Beach city line around 1:30 a.m. Tuesday, reported observing a 2019 Kia Sedan come through radar at 94 MPH in a 60 MPH speed zone.

As the trooper attempted to pull over the driver, reports say the driver failed to yield which initiated a pursuit.

The pursuit continued on I-64 onto I-264 where the driver exited at Ballentine Boulevard towards Virginia Beach Boulevard.

In an attempt to flee, the driver, later identified as a 17-year-old boy, struck a parked 2017 Dodge SUV on Smith Street in Norfolk, before fleeing on foot along with two other passengers.

The trooper was able to apprehend the 17-year-old after a short foot-pursuit.

The teen reportedly suffered minor injuries from the crash and was transported to Norfolk General Hospital.

The two other passengers were unable to be located.
