TIVERTON — Police are investigating a high-speed crash of a pickup truck into a house last night that sent two youths to the hospital. Four Providence boys, whom the police are not identifying because they are juveniles, were spotted in a Toyota truck speeding north on Main Road at about 9:45 p.m. by a marked police cruiser, which was driving with its lights flashing and siren sounding to a separate incident, Chief Thomas Blakey said this morning. The police believe the juveniles may have assumed the cruiser was after them, Blakey said. The pickup “catapulted” into 2537 Main Road, striking the house near the roof. A woman was home at the time but was uninjured, Blakey said. The house was substantially damaged and deemed uninhabitable today by the town’s building inspector, Blakey said. A 17-year-old boy was taken to Rhode Island Hospital, where he was listed in serious condition. A 15-year old boy was taken to Hasbro Children’s Hospital, where he is also listed in serious condition, according to police. The truck’s other two occupants fled the scene of the crash, Blakey said, and allegedly stole a car about a half-mile away. The two were stopped and arrested on Route 195 in Swansea by Massachusetts State Police. Tiverton police are investigating the crash and determining whether to bring charges against the boys, Blakey said. — Journal staff writer Meaghan Wims Posted by Andrea Panciera Commentsb ribeiro | May 27, 2008 3:52 PM link im really sorry but this charles the passenger and im glad nobody was hurt even thought i got hurt but now im in the pheonix hoouse and im a re-habilitated man. thanks for your time. shot out to my boy ray sean mike and billy charles blackwell | June 30, 2008 5:36 PM link Post a commentPlease be civil.

Excuse me???? We have 4 young boys who crashed a pick-up truck into a house of an 82 year old woman, leaving the house uninhabitable because they thought they were being chased by a police officer. The two young delinquents who weren't hurt enough to be transported to the hospital, fled the scene than stole a vehicle......and the Tiverton police are DETERMINING WHETHER TO BRING CHARGES AGAINST THESE BOYS...What is wrong with this story?
