14 year-old boy in stolen pickup arrested after fleeing accident on Airport Rd, Hanover Township, PA

A 14-year-old boy was arrested after he allegedly stole a pickup truck and then tried to escape from police after a hit-and-run crash in Lehigh County. The boy was driving a stolen black GMC Sierra SLT on Airport Road in Hanover Township around 11:15 a.m. Saturday. As he turned left onto Race Street, the boy lost control of the truck, traveled over a raised concrete divider and struck another car in the front left bumper. The teen then allegedly fled the scene, driving west on Race Street toward Catasauqua Borough. A Catasauqua Police officer said he spotted the teen inside the vehicle near Bridge and Front streets in Catasauqua shortly before 2 p.m. and attempted to stop and speak with him. The boy allegedly refused to stop and drove to a nearby abandoned industrial building. The teen entered the building with the vehicle and tried to exit by crashing through the interior door. The vehicle then came to a final stop and the teen was arrested. The teen was taken into custody. Police are not identifying him since he is a minor.
