A 17-year-old Ottawa boy has been charged with dangerous driving after a speed racing crash in the east end Thursday afternoon.
Meanwhile, a second teenage driver who fled the scene has now been located and is also expected to be charged.
They both face the automatic loss of their driver's licence if convicted.
Police said the 17-year-old was racing his Honda Civic northbound on Jeanne D'Arc Boulevard at Orleans Boulevard when he lost control of his vehicle and struck a curb. The car hit three newspaper boxes, which flew through a nearby bus shelter.
The car continued for about 50-60 metres before it flipped. In the process, the vehicle hit a fence, sending debris into the air and causing damage to a gazebo, as well as siding on a nearby house.
His 16-year-old girlfriend, who was a passenger in the car, was transported to the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario with a sore neck and back.
The vehicle is a complete write-off. Damage to the car and nearby property is estimated to be between $50,000 and $70,000.
The other driver, 16, fled the scene behind the wheel of a grey late-model Mazda 3 with chrome wheels.
