The teenager took the keys to the vehicle from his unsuspecting mother and then caused a road incident that could have ended tragically. Fortunately, none of the four vehicles hit by the teenager contained any people, and no one was injured.
The family court will decide the 14-year-old’s future.

As reported by the Bolesławiec District Police Headquarters:
The duty officer at the Bolesławiec District Police Headquarters received a report concerning a road incident on Słowackiego Street in Bolesławiec. The officers dispatched to the scene determined that the 14-year-old driving a BMW had probably lost control of the vehicle, causing it to hit four properly parked passenger cars, which fortunately contained no people.

The BMW in question was indeed a vehicle used by the teenager’s father. The boy took the keys without his parents’ knowledge.
The incident occurred on Wednesday, August 28, in the evening hours. As The Bad Bunzlauer described the case yesterday:
According to the information we received, the 14-year-old, driving his father’s car, wrecked four cars after one of his tires blew out and he lost control of the vehicle.
We asked Bolesławiec police about this. We are awaiting a response. However, we were initially informed that a 14-year-old boy had been behind the wheel.
