A traffic stop in Hopkinsville led to a high-speed pursuit and charges for a juvenile Wednesday night.

Hopkinsville Police say they attempted to stop a truck that had been reported stolen on McLean Avenue, and the driver fled, leading them on a pursuit.

The pursuit reportedly came to an end when the truck ran off the road on Canton Street at West 15th Street, hitting a fence and a parked car, pushing the car into a porch.

The driver and passengers then reportedly fled on foot, but one of the teenagers, a 15-year-old, was located and arrested on charges of leaving the scene of an accident and second-degree fleeing or evading police.

Police say two other teenagers who were in the truck have not been located.
