A video posted online Monday appears to show a Ford Mustang speeding through a Bradenton neighborhood before T-boning the driver side of a Ford F-250 pickup truck in a violent crash.
The two vehicles were part of at least 12 that were stolen from a repair shop in the 700 block of 11th Ave. W., Bradenton, where multiple people broke into the business sometime between 7 and 10 a.m. Sunday, stealing the keys and removing the cars from the shop, according to a press release issued by the Bradenton Police Department. At around 12:20 p.m., investigators say two of the stolen vehicles, the Ford Mustang and a Ford F-250 pickup truck, collided with the Mustang becoming engulfed in flames and the truck landing on its side after hitting the roof of a home.
The driver of one of the stolen vehicles, who was a juvenile, sustained serious but non-life-threatening injuries and is being treated at a hospital, according to a release. That driver is being charged with motor vehicle theft, reckless driving and driving without a driver’s license. The second driver has not yet been identified and left the crash scene, police say.
