Another stolen car crash at 12:23 p.m. Monday on Salem Avenue near Free Pike in Harrison Twp. involved multiple people, including a child.
A 2-year-old who was on the passenger-side floor of the stolen vehicle appears to have escaped serious injury, according to Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office Capt. Jeremy Roy. The toddler was taken to an area hospital to be examined.
Roy said the driver of a stolen darker Chevrolet Impala — which included six people, some of whom were trapped — briefly fled but was quickly apprehended.
Roy said that the 23-year-old male — shown on surveillance video obtained by this news organization — may have a broken arm and was taken to an area hospital.
The child was “unrestrained,” Roy said. “As of right now, there is somehow no life-threatening injuries that we know of of anybody in the stolen vehicle. … At the scene, (the child) did not lose consciousness, was alert, crying, things like that.”

A sheriff’s office press release said a northbound Impala hit a Kia van that was pulling out of a side street. Surveillance video shows the Impala then hit a south-bound Dodge SUV.
Roy said the drivers of the Kia and Dodge were the only people in those vehicles and neither had serious injuries. The driver of the Dodge was transported to a hospital but with non-life threatening injuries.
“The first impact was around Falmouth (Avenue) and then final rest was right at Grant (Avenue), so it was about a block of a crash,” Roy said, relaying information from sergeants on scene.
Roy said some witnesses said the Impala may have been losing control prior to the crash, though deputies have not determined who was at fault.
Roy said the driver of the stolen vehicle may face charges for stolen property and possibly for child endangering.
