BOSTON (WHDH) - An erratic driver hit several vehicles in Dorchester with a stolen car Monday afternoon, according to Boston police.
Police said they received a call just before 3 p.m. about more than a dozen cars getting hit on Centre Street. The 911 caller said between 15 to 20 cars had been hit in total.
Investigators found the car the suspect was driving on Leslie Street, police said. SKY7-HD spotted a black car with extensive damage to the hood.
Luan Dai said his car was hit and he cannot believe just how much of an impact there seems to have been.
“This is insane, I’m surprised he made it that far. Usually, it’s one or two cars, your car would be done,” Dai said. “He must be driving, I don’t know, a tank.”
Dai said he spoke with his insurance company and that his car might be a “total loss.”
Dennis Harrington said the suspect stole his Buck Grand National and then allegedly hit the vehicles before ending up on Leslie Street.
“I was working on a truck when someone goes, ‘Hey, a car like yours just drove by.’ I look over and I was like ‘That is my car,'” Harrington said. “There’s not a car like this in America — this thing’s one of a kind, I’m not even exaggerating when I say that. I’m beyond disgusted. I think it’s totaled.”
Surveillance video captures the stolen car careening down Dix Street. The car then turns down Leslie Street before the driver gets out and runs away.
Boston police said the suspect may be connected to a separate crime. No additional information was released.
