A 15-year old boy stole his father's van this afternoon to go on a joyride and ended up destroying a house and getting arrested. The incident started shortly before 4:30pm when the teen was speeding down the road was nearly T-boned at an intersection by a bus.
The teen swerved to avoid crashing into the bus and lost control of the car, struck an above-ground electrical meter box and then hit a home on Fox Point Drive. The van crashed into the garage of the home and it burst into flames spreading fire rapidly throughout the house.
The teenager driving the van was unharmed and ran from the scene. He was later captured by police and arrested. Thankfully, no one was home at the time of the accident because the entire house is destroyed. The following photos were taken by WCNC:
