The driver attempted to make a turn onto Little Street, but failed to maintain control and crashed.

She explained she was scared of being pulled over since she did not have a driver’s license.Juvenile Intake was contacted, but declined to incarcerate the reckless delinquent. She was released to her parents and now faces charges of felony eluding, reckless driving, and driving without a license.
