ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — An Orlando teenager is facing grand theft charges after he crashed into a fence while driving a stolen Lexus.
The Wednesday morning crash sent a metal pole through the right side of the car, impaling his 18-year-old passenger.
The Orlando Sentinel (http://bit.ly/17U6zw1 ) reports 18-year-old Mikhail Cannon was arrested and taken to jail. Passenger Smandre Law was taken to the hospital in critical but stable condition.
