The incident occurred around 7:15 a.m. this morning as a 13 year old Harrington boy was operating a 2006 Toyota 4Runner westbound on Bloomfield Drive, just west of Cloverfield Lane. The vehicle traveled off the north side of the road and into a ditch before the passenger’s side struck a utility pole, sheering it off at the base. The 4Runner continued westbound for a short distance before coming to a stop in the roadway.
The 13 year old was initially transported to Milford Memorial Hospital before being transferred to A.I. DuPont where he is being treated for non-life-threatening injuries. He was cited with Careless Driving, Failure to Remain in a Single Lane, No Insurance in Possession, No Registration in Possession, and Driving Without a Valid License.

Sounds like something I would have done at 13.
wow he wrecked it good! i wonder why he decided this was a good idea?
Thank God he was not seriously injured. If this were my son he would not be able to sit down for months!!
I did that once when I was fourteen. Flipped her three times and landed in the woods. All over trying to go see a girl. Of course in the middle of a blizzard wasnt the best time to go. My dad broke my jaw.
Grounded for life.... at least!
No license until he is eighteen, and has to work until he pays off the car he wrecked. No "broken jaw" necessary, or hindering his ability to "sit for months". That's just the kind of poor parenting that leads to acts like these.
He would ride the bus or walk, period.
