DRIVE IT LIKE YOU STOLE IT

When Stupid Can Be Fatal

Four boys, age 13-15, stole a 2018 Aude from a home in Abilene early yesterday morning.  They live-streamed themselves in the stolen car.  They also stopped at a convenience store to steal some stuff.

The car was spotted by the local constabulary at about 0407 hours.  It was easy to spot as they smashed into a parked, unoccupied police car and then drove away.  The teens fled at speed and the cops followed but not not "pursue" the vehicle.

Two minutes later a light pole jumped out in front of the car.  One of the passengers was killed in the collision.  The driver is facing a buttload of felony charges.  One of them should include felony stupid.
