A teenager died after he crashed his car while trying to flee officers in Massachusetts - smashing into the side of a property.
The 19-year-old man was going so fast that the engine of his 2011 Nissan Altima flew through the second floor of the home in Belchertown, Massachusetts, on Sunday night.
Officers attempted to stop the vehicle at around 8.45pm when they spotted the car speeding down Route 202 South.
The driver sped away from the trooper, running a red light at an intersection before careering off the side of the road, according to Massachusetts State Police.
Investigations by state cops show that the car then flew off the curb before hitting a rock wall and a tree.
It smashed into a light post, a property on North Main Street and then careered into the front end of a 2023 Jeep Wrangler. A 2020 Buick Envision was also damaged.
The engine was launched out of the vehicle and went through the outside of a neighboring house on North Main Street before landing on the second floor of the home.
Police are not identifying the diver, who was thrown from the car and pronounced dead on the scene.
Neighbors described the crash to WWLP-22 as the 'loudest sound' they had ever heard.
Mike Forgue added: 'It was a loud sound. It was kind of amazing actually. You could tell something serious had happened.'

Gee. I Wonder
Not knowing anything else except this posted blurb, I am 100% certain when I say that in the grand scheme of things, society just got a huge one for the “Win” column right here.
Didn’t he manage to roll a Dodge Viper?
That’s just impressive.
Unrelated, but have you read the tragedy of his family?
It’s crazy…
Stupid should hurt.
Why was the car’s engine fleeing from the police?
My. Do the homeowners get to keep the engine?
In this woke world there are all sorts of crazy careers, basket weaving and the like. Adding to the list here with Trooper Avoidance, Red Light Running and Getting Off the Side of the Road.
Darwin Award?
The engine broke free
And identified as a SCUD missile.
you should be able to stabilize the structure using bricks and hydraulic jacks, I would try to do that asap.
Finders Keepers can sell it on eBay for $250. Shipping might be higher than that, though.
Of course, maybe this IS the engine from that crash.
Because the writer of that sentence is still traumatized from seeing Mama thrown from the train a kiss.
So the cops were chasing the car’s engine and the guy was collateral damage?
Cops aren’t id’ing the dead kid cuz he was probably torn to shreds. Horrible. Or maybe the cops knew the kid from previous encounters and the kid kept on being released and cops don’t want mud on the face of the DA. Glad no one else was hurt.
On a late night back around 1988, a local 19 year old man from nearby small town Alexis, IL, was driving his late 60s Chevelle VERY fast on northbound US 67. He left the road and hit a big maple tree head on, on the driver’s side. Killed instantly.
The 327 v8 and 4 speed trans was launched about 200 feet into our cow pasture.
