Juvenile Joyride: Drunk 13-Year-Old Flips Stolen Car At 100 MPH

I am sure we have all done reckless things as teenagers, but this act may have taken the cake. Talk about a juvenile joyride! A drunk 13-year-old has a chaotic night after he flips a stolen car going 100 mph.

The Details: Two children, yes, you read that correctly…children, survived a terrible car crash. The crash occurred after the vehicle was taken out for a late-night joyride. The Arizona Department of Safety’s Highway Patrol shared that the 13-year-old driver and 11-year-old passenger were spotted “Around 1 AM on September 30, 2025,” in Flagstaff, Arizona.

• Highway patrol received a call about a vehicle that was driving the wrong way on the interstate.
• The statement shared the following information. “A Deputy observed the vehicle drive the wrong way across the median and then self-correct before continuing eastbound at over 100 MPH.”
• The statement also shared that “The vehicle was reported as stolen and had fled from the Flagstaff Police Department before the Deputy saw it.”

In a dramatic scene, the child continued to drive the car in a hazardous manner. In the statement released by the Highway Patrol, they share that the vehicle drove onto the guardrail. From there, they “rode” across it before “rolling several times and landing in a tree.”

Photographs from the scene show just how dramatic the crash truly was. The impact crushed a majority of the vehicle and shattered the windshield. Not to mention the fact that “the impact was severe, and the steering wheel broke off while the vehicle was rolling.
Furthermore, the steering wheel “was ejected approximately 50 feet from where the vehicle landed.”

Driving Under The Influence: To make matters worse, the child driving the car was intoxicated.

• The statement shared that “troopers observed 6 out of 6 signs of intoxication in the driver before medics transported them for care.”
• Once at the hospital, a blood alcohol analysis was performed. That analysis showed the driver had a level of “0.183 BAC.”
• For reference, the legal limit in Arizona is 0.8% for persons 21 years of age and older.

Strong Message To Parents

Luckily, somehow, both children involved in the accident survived. Not only were they lucky enough to survive, but People Magazine shared they also managed to walk away with “sustained non-life-threatening injuries.”

Although the Arizona Department of Safety’s Highway Patrol is elated that the children are okay, they took the opportunity to share the severity of the situation. In their statement, they address parents and the need to speak with their children about such dangerous acts.

• “Juvenile joyriding and underage drinking are extremely dangerous. Talk to your kids about the dangers of drinking and unlicensed driving.”
