A 16-year-old boy has been charged with manslaughter for crashing a stolen car in
Manhattan, killing two teenage passengers, police said Wednesday.

The teen driver is facing charges including manslaughter, criminally negligent

homicide, assault and criminal possession of stolen property for the early-morning
July 3 crash in Washington Heights .

The arrested driver’s name was not released by the NYPD because he is a juvenile.

The boy was driving a stolen 2009 Hyundai Elantra uptown on Audubon Ave. when he
blew through a red light and slammed into a Jeep Grand Cherokee heading west on W.
179th St., according to cops.

Careening out of control, the Elantra struck a parked car and overturned.

The Jeep struck a parked and unoccupied 2021 Audi Q3, which lurched forward and
struck a parked and unoccupied 2016 Honda Accord, before coming to a rest in the
crosswalk.

The Elantra was reported stolen in Washington Heights in late June, cops said.

Police have seen a massive uptick in Hyundai thefts in the city this year thanks mostly
