A 15-year-old boy remains hospitalized after police say he fled from officers in a stolen car and crashed into a house in West Valley City, killing a 24-year-old man standing on the porch.
WEST VALLEY CITY — A 15-year-old boy remained hospitalized Friday after police say he fled from officers in a stolen car and crashed into a house, killing a 24-year-old man standing on the porch.
The officer did not initiate a pursuit but followed the stolen vehicle as it turned into a neighborhood. As backup officers converged on the area, they waited until the car stopped near Lehi Drive and Beaver Street and three teens got out, said West Valley police spokeswoman Roxeanne Vainuku. The two passengers ran as police moved in. They were captured by officers.
A few hundred yards later, the boy lost control of the vehicle, went through two yards and hit a 24-year-old man standing outside, killing him, according to police.
