A 15-year-old town of Dickinson boy faces felony charges for allegedly stealing a vehicle that slammed into a car and a pickup truck during a police chase in Chenango Bridge.

The Broome County Sheriff's Office on Wednesday afternoon released dashcam video showing the high-speed pursuit of a 2017 Kia Sorento.

Sheriff Fred Akshar said the vehicle had been left running and unlocked by a resident on Kirkwood Avenue in Port Dickinson last Friday morning. The car was reported stolen around 8:10 a.m.

A few minutes later, a sheriff's deputy spotted the Kia at a stop light at West Service Road and Chenango Bridge Road. The deputy stopped the car and tried to speak to the driver but the vehicle sped off.

The deputy pursued the Kia for a short time before it smashed into two vehicles at the Matthews Road intersection near the entrance to the Price Chopper supermarket.
