An innocent driver was killed early Wednesday when his car was hit by a stolen vehicle driven by a 14-year-old as he was being chased by Dallas police.
During the chase, the 14-year-old drove through a red light and crashed into a Chevrolet Impala, killing that driver, police said.
The name of the victim has not been released by authorities.
The 14-year-old boy and three other teens who were in the stolen car with him were injured in the crash and they were taken to local hospitals.
