virginia state policeThe Virginia State Police responded Tuesday morning to reports of a black Lexus that was taken and driven by a male, 10-year-old with a 7-year-old male passenger, out of Fluvanna County and traveling eastbound I-64.

The preliminary reports reveal that the 10-year-old was traveling on eastbound I-64 around the 148 mile marker and was all over the roadway.  A caller that was behind the juveniles followed them to Gum Springs (exit 159), where the juveniles struck the caller’s Nissan Rogue and then continued onto I-64 and eventually crashing around the 160 mile marker in a median.

Fire and rescue were on scene and checked all involved and there are no reported injuries.

A Fluvanna County sergeant responded to the scene so he can transport the juveniles back to Fluvanna and is handling the unauthorized use of the vehicle.

Virginia State Police is handling the investigation of the crash.
