The crash happened around 12:45 a.m. Monday after a trooper spotted a stolen car out of Prince George's County on Stevenson Road at South Walker Street in Alexandria.

The trooper attempted to stop the car, but officials said the driver refused to stop, leading to a pursuit. The chase continued onto Duke Street and then I-395 north. State Police said the stolen car reached speeds of approximately 90 miles per hour.

The chase lasted about two minutes before the teen driver lost control on the Shirlington Road exit ramp, ran off the right side of the ramp and crashed into a jersey wall.
