The 11-year-old fled from police and traveled out of the fire station and onto Memphis Avenue.
Police pursued the vehicle heading eastbound on Memphis Avenue to Pearl Road.
The 11-year-old continued to drive recklessly, reaching speeds over 70 mph. When Parma Heights police received a call from the boy’s father at 11:06 p.m., saying his son was driving the Dodge Durango, officers from the Brooklyn Police Department canceled the pursuit.
At 11:30 p.m., police spoke to the boy’s father who received a call telling him that his son crashed into a parked truck in the area of 958 West Schaff in Cleveland.
