Teen crashes car into school, drives down hall

The Associated Press Updated 6:31 PM Monday, February 8, 2010

SHORELINE, Wash. — Sheriff's deputies said a 17-year-old boy crashed his parents' car through the doors of Shorecrest High School in Shoreline, then drove it down the hall. The car finally stopped 75 yards later when it hit a security office. Two school workers were still on the property and heard the crash.

Police found the teen on school grounds about an hour and a half after the crash late Friday night. He was taken into custody and then brought to Harborview Medical Center for a mental evaluation. Investigators said they do not believe drugs or alcohol played a role.

The boy, from Lake Forest Park, is a student at the school. He was not injured.

This is a good example of why a 17 year old shouldn't have a drivers license. His parents will be held responsible for this foolishness. If he was an adult them he might think about the consequences of his behavior since he would have to pay for it, not his mommy or daddy. What a nightmare for these parents.

I think maybe they should retest this lunatic for drugs. Or maybe he is just plain crazy. Looks like he's moving from the family car to the school bus!
