A teenager is in the hospital after Huntsville Police said she led them on a chase that ended with her crashing into a utility pole.
Saturday evening, a 37-year-old woman reported her car was stolen and Huntsville Police began searching for the vehicle.
Huntsville Police said the 16-year-old will face multiple charges and was taken to the hospital with minor injuries.
