Beaverton Police Arrest Teen Following Pursuit And Crash Into Townhomes
- 10/01/26
At approximately 2:00 a.m., a Beaverton Police Department patrol officer observed a Toyota Sequoia being driven recklessly along SW Tualatin Valley Highway. The officer saw the vehicle make an illegal U-turn, strike a concrete median, lose control, and continue driving erratically.
The officer attempted to conduct a traffic stop on the vehicle near SW Tualatin Valley Highway and SW 178th Avenue. The driver failed to stop and fled northbound on SW 178th Avenue, running a stop sign and continuing to elude officers.
The driver of the Toyota lost control and crashed the SUV into occupied townhomes near SW Johnson Street. Despite significant damage to the residences, no occupants of the townhomes were injured.
Two juveniles fled from the vehicle on foot following the crash.
Beaverton Police K9 Ox was deployed to search for the teens. During the track, officers received information from community members who had seen the teens running through the surrounding neighborhood. K9 Ox and officers ultimately located one of the teens, who surrendered and was taken into custody without further incident. The second teen later returned home and was transported to a hospital for evaluation of injuries sustained during the incident.
Officers subsequently learned the Toyota belonged to the parent of one of the teenagers and had been taken without permission.
The teen believed to have been driving was lodged at a juvenile detention center on charges of Felony Attempt to Elude, Misdemeanor Attempt to Elude, Reckless Driving, Reckless Endangering, Failure to Perform the Duties of a Driver (property damage), and Criminal Mischief in the First Degree.
Because the individuals involved are juveniles, the Beaverton Police Department will not be releasing their names or identifying information.
