SOUTH BEND, Ind.—A vehicle crashed into a home following a short police pursuit early Monday morning.

South Bend Police attempted to conduct a traffic stop on the driver around 1:45 a.m.

The officer said the driver was speeding and disregarded a stop sign at LaPorte and Colfax.

A pursuit began, but the officer called it off because of speed at Walnut and Washington, reports said.

The driver, a 15-year-old male, was taken to the hospital for his injuries.

He will be taken to the Juvenile Justice Center when discharged.
