A teenager was involved in a two-vehicle crash on May 27, just after midnight.
According to the Saline County Sheriff's Office, deputies were dispatched to the 7200 block of W. State Street for the report of a two-vehicle crash.
Reportedly, a 16-year-old boy was heading westbound on State in a 2000 Chevy Camaro at a high rate of speed. A 2009 Ford F150 driven by a 44-year-old male, was turning west onto State from Hedville Road.
When the 44-year-old turned onto State, the teen then sideswiped the man, causing both vehicles to leave the roadway.
It was determined that both drivers were injured.
Deputies discovered the 16-year-old had a 10-year-old male passenger at the time of the crash. Moreover, the teen appeared to have the odor of alcohol coming from his breath, according to the Sheriff's Office.
This led to the teen being taken into custody.
He was arrested for Aggravated Endangerment of a child, DUI, Possession of Liquor, Transporting an open container, Reckless Driving and Possession of cigarettes.
The investigation is ongoing for potential other charges, which could include Drag Racing.
The Sheriff's Office stated the teen hit top speeds of 90 - 95 mph in a 55 mph zone.
He was later released to a relative after the arrest.
