Student crashes car into high-school, cruises down hallway

On Friday evening, Seattle police arrested a 17-year-old boy after he intentionally drove his parents 2002 Subaru Outback right through the doors of his high-school.

The teen, whose identity has been withheld due to his age, drove the vehicle through the entrance of Shorecrest High School, cruised for about 75 yards down a hallway and eventually crashed into a vacant security office. Two school employees who were still on campus witnessed the bizarre incident and reported the crime to police.

Local authorities found the suspect on school property approximately 90 minutes after the episode took place. No injuries were reported.

After being arrested and interviewed, the boy was taken to Harborview Medical Center "for a mental evaluation," according to Sergeant John Urquhart, spokesman for the King County Sheriff's Office.

"He did not appear to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol," added Urquhart, quoted by the Seattle Times.

Shoreline Schools spokesman Craig Degginger confirmed that class will go on as planned this week, despite what has been referred to by students as a strange "annoyance."
