Teen arrested in connection with multi-vehicle crash involving stolen car in Delaware County

BROOKHAVEN, Pennsylvania (WPVI) -- Police have arrested a 17-year-old in connection with Sunday's horrific crash involving a stolen car in Delaware County.

Five people were injured in the accident around 6 p.m.

The crash began as a police pursuit by Chester officers.

The police followed the suspect into Brookhaven where the driver crashed in the intersection of Edgmont and Brookhaven roads.

Action News spoke with a resident who said he saw the car on fire.

"All you hear is this big 'boom.' It sounded like maybe a gas leak went off and blew like a wall out somewhere," said Derin Price from Brookhaven. "Within about five seconds, I run towards the front of the store and I hear people screaming outside, and you just see a red car flipped over. It looked like it had tumbled over a bunch of times."

Investigators say the 17-year-old was at the wheel of a car stolen from Upper Darby.

No word on what charges have been filed.
