Darren Doyle, story:
James Clemons, 15, a missing teen from Rocky Hill has been located after a single vehicle crash in Smiths Grove around 5AM this morning, according to the Edmonson County Sheriff's Office.

Officials said that Clemons' parents spotted him on the road around 4:15am and attempted to stop him, but the teen was able to drive around his parents' vehicle and get away. 

Warren County Deputies located the vehicle and the teen tried to negotiate the intersection of HWY 101 and 68-80 at approximately 60mph, where he went through a ditch and field.

Officials said he was knocked unconscious for a short time and was being transported to the hospital for possible injuries.

It was also reported that apparently the teen had been driving around all night eluding others. Local and surrounding law enforcement officials along with the teens' parents have searched diligently all night.

It was not known the reason the teen left yesterday. Officials struggled to track any leads during the search.

So glad this 15 year old is okay.
But why was a kid behind the wheel?! If he was evading people all night, what if he really hurt someone?!
Shouldnt there be some sort of disciplinary action the police could take to ensure this doesnt happen again?

Its obvious there are private issues going on with the family. Disciplinary action? Like what? You think his parents are going to press charges? If the parents don't press charges then I guess he's looking at a ticket for driving without a license or maybe speeding or something. Would you press charges against your kid if they took your car without permission?

I definitely would if they were 15 years old!
I'm not talking about disciplinary actions from the parents I'm talking about the police. From what I understand it was a high-speed chase he put a lot of people in danger and what should be able to get off with a slap on the wrist that is not okay. Someone needs to teach these kids discipline.
