A drunken teen allegedly crashed a stolen vehicle with an 11-year-old passenger inside, after flipping over on a highway in Arizona, according to media reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident happened around 1 a.m. Tuesday local time after police received a report of a wrong-way driver eastbound on I-40 in Flagstaff, Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS) told ABC News<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A deputy spotted the vehicle crossing the median into oncoming lanes before correcting course, then speeding past 100 mph<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The white Chevrolet Silverado, reported stolen earlier from the Flagstaff Police Department, veered onto a guardrail before flipping multiple times and crashing into a tree. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The impact was so violent, investigators said, that the truck\u2019s steering wheel snapped off and landed roughly 50 feet away from the wreck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both passengers were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries, DPS confirmed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police noted the girl showed “six out of six signs of intoxication.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A subsequent blood test revealed her blood alcohol concentration was 0.183 more than twice the legal limit for adults and well above Arizona\u2019s zero-tolerance law for underage drivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Photos released by DPS show the mangled truck, its roof caved in, and front end twisted against trees, as well as the dislodged steering wheel lying in tall grass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AZDPS Highway Patrol shared a Facebook post <\/a>online describing the danger involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We\u2019re thankful the kids are okay, but this could\u2019ve ended way worse. Juvenile joyriding and underage drinking are extremely dangerous,” the post read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Talk to your kids about the dangers of drinking and unlicensed driving.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
