The vehicle continued driving, at times reaching speeds over 120 mph, on U.S. 20 near Main Avenue in Pine Township, police said.As the suspect attempted to negotiate a curve just east of Railroad Avenue, he lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a wooded area, police said. The suspect was partially ejected through the windshield. After being removed from the vehicle and placed into custody, officers began assessing and treating the suspect for injuries.The suspect had just been released from custody in Illinois for a similar charge of armed carjacking, police said.
He's now being held at the Lake County Juvenile Detention Center on charges of resisting law enforcement, theft of a motor vehicle, reckless driving, never receiving a license and two traffic citations.
