Manchester, boy, 13, dies after crashing stolen car in Bedford
A 13-year-old boy was killed driving a stolen car early Wednesday morning on Route 101 in Bedford after a brief police chase that started in Manchester and ended in a rollover crash, police said. The passenger, a 14-year-old girl from Manchester, suffered serious, but non-life-threatening injuries and was taken to a local hospital, police said. The car crashed and rolled over around 1:50 a.m. on Route 101 west at the Kilton Road off-ramp, according to a news release from Bedford Police. Both the driver and passenger were ejected from the car. The driver was pronounced dead at a hospital. About an hour before the crash, a food-delivery driver reported an unattended 2014 Toyota Corolla was stolen near 5 Clifford Ave. in Manchester. An officer spotted the car being driven without its headlights on near Kenberma Street, and activated emergency lights and sirens in an attempt to stop the car, according to the Manchester Police Department. The police officer pursued the stolen car onto a highway, but decided to break off the chase for safety reasons and lost sight of the car, police said. A preliminary investigation indicates that neither was wearing a seat belt, according to a Bedford Police release. They were the only ones in the car. Manchester Superintendent of Schools Jennifer Chmiel issued a statement about a student from Southside Middle School killed in a crash on Wednesday. 'We are deeply saddened by the loss of one of our students, and our thoughts are with those impacted by this motor vehicle accident. In addition to our school based counseling teams, we have brought in additional community resources and grief counselors that will be available at the school,' Chmiel wrote. The superintendent shared additional resources on the Southside webpage at The Kilton Road on- and off-ramps were closed Wednesday morning as the department's Traffic Accident Reconstruction Team investigated. dpierce@

Middle schooler dies in crash after allegedly stealing car from delivery driver in New Hampshire
A middle school student died in a crash in New Hampshire after allegedly stealing a delivery driver's car in the middle of the night. Manchester Police said the unidentified "juvenile driver" jumped into a 2014 Toyota Corolla on Clifford Avenue just before 1 a.m. Wednesday and drove off. The car belonged to a food delivery driver who, police said, briefly left it "unattended." A Manchester officer spotted the car about an hour later near Kenberma Street riding around with its headlights off. A chase started, but it was called off on a nearby highway and the officer "lost sight of the vehicle," police said. At around 2 a.m., New Hampshire State Police found the car had crashed in Bedford, a few minutes southwest of Manchester. The driver was dead, Manchester Police said, and a passenger had what they described as "non-life-threatening injuries." On Wednesday morning, the Manchester School District identified the driver as a student at Southside Middle School. The student's name and age have not been released and the passenger in the car has not been identified. "We are deeply saddened by the loss of one of our students, and our thoughts are with those impacted by this motor vehicle accident. In addition to our school based counseling teams, we have brought in additional community resources and grief counselors that will be available at the school," Superintendent Jennifer Chmiel said in a statement. No other information is available at this point in the investigation.
