Officers found the car, and have located the alleged driver of the car at the time of the
crash.
The alleged driver is a 14-year-old male.

seems a little too easy. 14 year old taking the blame. bet driver was either drunk or drugged and figured the boy won’t get into too much trouble. print the wheel, measure the seats, find any area cameras. this just seems too far fetched.
