A 16-year-old boy is currently facing a number of charges for his involvement in a 4-car accident that occurred on Jackson Street last night in Methuen at about 9:30pm. The Eagle Tribune reports that 2 of the individuals involved in the multi-vehicle crash suffered injuries as a result of the crash, but the injuries were not life-threatening.
The boy’s identity has not been publicly released because he is a minor. The teen allegedly stole a Honda Accord on Camelia Teoli Way in Lawrence that was owned by the father of Rafael Rivera, 21. Rivera witnessed the teen stealing the Accord and followed the boy in his Integra from Lawrence to Methuen so that he wouldn’t get away. In the pursuit, the teenager crashed into three cars: Rivera’s Integra, a Chevrolet Blazer, and a Dodge Grand Caravan while driving down Jackson Street.
The teen driver faces numerous charges including stealing the car, driving to endanger, failing to stop for 2 red lights, not having a license, as well as a marked lanes violation. Rivera was charged by police with driving to endanger as he followed the teen driver in order to not let him get away with stealing the car. Rivera reported to the Tribune that this marked the second time within the month that his father’s car had been stolen.
