A 13-year-old boy in North Carolina stole a car and led deputies on a high-speed chase that ended with a crash into a utility pole on Wednesday, authorities said.

Deputies responded to a call about a Black male in a ski mask suspected of stealing a vehicle in Elizabethtown, the Bladen County Sheriff’s Office said.

One deputy spotted the stolen vehicle right outside the city and attempted to pull the driver over.

The driver, however, sped away, reaching speeds of more than 100 mph at times, according to the sheriff’s office.

The suspect drove to I-95 in Cumberland County and sped through Johnston and Wake Counties before exiting onto I-40. Multiple law enforcement agencies were then asked to help in the pursuit.

North Carolina State Highway Patrol took over the chase and followed the suspect after he exited onto Rock Quarry Road and struck a utility pole, officials said.

The juvenile denied suffering injuries in the crash but was taken to a hospital for evaluation out of precaution and due to his age, the sheriff’s office said. No update on his condition was immediately provided.
