SAN ANTONIO -- A teenager who was street racing caused an accident on the North Side, according to police.

The accident happened just before midnight Friday on Stone Oak Parkway near Hardy Oak. Police say a 17-year-old was driving southbound on Stone Oak in a Jeep Cherokee and racing another car when he lost control. He hit a curb, flipped into oncoming traffic and ended up on the sidewalk.

The teenager had minor injuries and was taken into custody.

The other driver took off and was not caught.

Everyday at lunchtime I see this kids speeding out of Brandeis HS. Cutting off other drivers and even almost running over their fellow classmates crossing the street. There really needs to be a cop in this area. I live very close to the school and see this daily!!

That is why we have the San Antonio Raceway. Sign your waiver, then do whatever you want to do with your life behind the wheel.

the kid who did this is my best friend lol. Never buy a kid a vehicle with a lot power. I heard in Texas street racing is a felony charge. What a shame to go to county jail for street racing.stupid decision

Actually, @justmyopinion, I DO know what my family does when I'm not around. Not only are they responsible, they drive defensively, which they need to do because of all the idiots on the road. Perhaps your brother was an innocent victim, and I'm sorry for your loss, but you need to listen up. This is about two STUPID, IRRESPONSIBLE punks who put the rest of the motorists in jeopardy because they wanted to play "tag" with motor vehicles. I wish them the full and complete punishment afforded by law, I wish them to lose their vehicles and driver's licenses, have to walk or ride the bus. Perhaps it will save their lives and the lives of some who are innocent. If you can't follow the thread here, go cry somewhere else.

Nah! Let them peddle a bicycle for a few years. Or take public transit.

I think these ijits should be forced to drive a smart car for a couple years. Or a Segway.

If you are caught drag racing your license should restrict you to vehicles rated less than 90hp
