A Portland teenager was caught a short time after allegedly fleeing on foot from a single-vehicle accident Friday night in Portland.
A report by Portland police said that Nicholas A. Hart, 16, 925 N. Franklin St., lost control of the vehicle he was driving on West High Street, near Williams Street, and struck a parked car about 8:06 a.m.
The car driven by Hart went off the street and struck a tree at Judge Haynes Elementary School.
The report said that Hart and a passenger left the scene on foot and were stopped at Ship Street and Eagle Alley.
The report listed the consumption of alcoholic beverages as a contributing factor and listed Hart’s blood alcohol content as .03 percent.
Combined damage to the 1984 Ford Thunderbird driven by Hart and registered to Lance Stephen, 1421 North 300 West, and the parked 1989 Chevrolet Cavalier registered to Jim and Nancy Brown, 820 W. High St., Portland, was $2,500 to $5,000.
A sport utility vehicle driven by a rural Portland woman struck a payment collection box at a Portland car wash Sunday at 11:24 a.m.
Anna M. Patch, 24, 3418 North 150 East, told police she was backing up her SUV to straighten it before entering the automatic bay at the Shell car wash, 620 N. Meridian St.
