Driver Crashes Stolen Car

Police arrested a man they say crashed a car into a pole in Lexington and then took off.

A passerby noticed the car flipped over on River Park Drive, near Thames Road, just before 1:30 a.m. and called police.

When they arrived, the driver of the car was nowhere to be found.

Police said a short time later, a woman arrived to tell them her son had stolen her vehicle.

Police later caught up with Kaminita Hale and arrested him.
