Stolen Car Crashes Into Tree on Burns Hollow Road
Just before 6 am, a Zeune Road caller reported a Chevy stolen from her driveway. She said she’d left it there with the key in the ignition the previous night. Deputies said the woman seemed confused and didn’t know the tag on the vehicle, but they were able to run it and get the information.
A deputy contacted OSP to see if they’d encountered any cars matching the description without a driver, and they said they’d just received a report of someone crashing that vehicle into a tree on Burns Hollow Road.
Witnesses said the driver walked away from the crash and was spotted heading towards Zeune Road. OSP Troopers took the report for the crash.
