A reckless driver behind the wheel of a stolen car left a trail of destruction in Dorchester on Monday, causing multiple accidents and injuring several pedestrians. The chaotic rampage began shortly after noon when the driver, identified only as a 24-year-old male, allegedly stole a silver Honda Accord from a parking lot on Blue Hill Avenue. Witnesses said the driver sped recklessly through the busy streets, running red lights and narrowly avoiding other vehicles. At one intersection, he collided with a school bus, injuring two children and the bus driver. Continuing his rampage, the driver careened down Washington Street, hitting a parked car and injuring a pedestrian who was crossing the road. He then crashed into a utility pole, causing a power outage in the area. Undeterred, the driver reversed and sped away, only to collide with another vehicle head-on. The impact left the stolen Honda Accord heavily damaged and the other driver injured. Police responded to the scene and apprehended the driver, who was taken into custody and charged with multiple offenses, including reckless driving, hit-and-run, and possession of a stolen vehicle. The injured pedestrians and school children were transported to local hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries. The extent of the damage to the stolen car and the other vehicles involved is still being assessed. Neighbors expressed shock and anger over the incident. “It was like a scene from a movie,” said one resident. “I’ve never seen anything like it.” The police are continuing their investigation and urging anyone with information about the incident to come forward.
