CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A carjacking Wednesday night led to a serious wreck that shut down Brookshire Boulevard for hours, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department officials said.
Police charged a 15-year-old boy for his involvement.
Officers located a suspected vehicle in a carjacking on Rozzelles Ferry Road at West Trade Street, but when they tried to pull the car over, the driver fled.
The two people in the carjacked vehicle were taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
That started a chase, which ended in a crash with two other vehicles on Brookshire Boulevard at Idaho Drive near Interstate 85.
A bystander from one of the other vehicles had minor injuries.
The teenager was charged with possession of a stolen vehicle, fleeing to elude, driving without a license and resisting arrest.
