Teen Drops Into An Office Basement... With A Ford Focus!

A 16-year-old’s joy ride in a stolen Ford Focus came to an abrupt end in Edinburgh, UK on Tuesday (March 15, 2007) when the teen attempted to make a getaway after spotting a police vehicle. According to reports the 16-year-old lost control of the car as he tried to take a bend at high speed and ended up, or rather sideways down, in an office basement at the corner of North Castle Street and Hill Street. Luckily no one was hurt.

Ironically, the police stated that they hadn’t noticed the vehicle! A police spokesman said: "It was a stolen vehicle but I can confirm he was not being pursued by the police. He saw a police car and drove off at high speed before swerving and crashing into the basement." Via: Theregister
