Juveniles in van hit several cars before crashing

McKEESPORT, Pa. — Two juveniles were in a stolen work van that struck several parked cars before coming to a crashing stop early Thursday morning in McKeesport.

Police said the van hit at least five cars, some of which sustained substantial damage, along Jenny Lind Street. The van ended up on its roof after rolling over four times and hitting a utility pole when it crashed.

May Hudson showed Channel 11 what we couldn't see overnight when we raced to McKeesport for this rollover crash.

“This is all destroyed - the whole back panel is destroyed,” she said, pointing to her car.

The broken glass, dented fenders and trail of car parts were caused when police say a 16-year-old and a 14-year-old stole a work van then crashed it into five parked cars before flipping over into a utility pole.

“After he bounced off May’s car, stuff was flying everywhere,” said Althea Kennedy.

We learned the two teens were hurt but conscious when they were pulled from the mangled van -

Neighbors told us what happened next.

“The one said he couldn't feel his leg --and the other one said, of all the stupid things, he said, ‘Oh I think I chipped a tooth,’” said Kennedy.

“I was more concerned about them,” Hudson said. “I can get another car.”

The teenagers were taken to UPMC Mercy, where they are expected to be OK.
