Teenage drivers implicated in two separate accidents

Police: Local teen drove car through garage door

Posted

Two teenagers from Barrington. Two car accidents. Two victims — one was a pedestrian in Warren, and the other was a garage door in Barrington. 

On Thursday, Aug. 29, Warren Police contacted Barrington PD seeking assistance in finding a vehicle that may have struck a pedestrian in that town. Warren Police said the vehicle’s mirror may have clipped the pedestrian. 

Barrington Police located the vehicle in the Maple Avenue area of town and spoke to the man who owns it. He said his grandson had been driving the vehicle. Police later located the teenager; Warren Police will handle the investigation. 

That same day, Barrington Police responded to a home in the Rumstick area of town for a report of a dispute between a father and his teenage son. Police said the two were arguing after the son drove a vehicle through the garage door. No one was charged.
