Williams hit an unmarked police cruiser and then accelerated directly toward two uniformed Dayton officers, hitting one in the foot, according to prosecutors.
The chase ended when the car crashed into a truck at Germantown Street and Gettysburg Avenue.
The Chevy then hit a utility pole, flipped upside down, and caught fire.
Another teen in the car was taken into custody and faces one count of grand theft of a motor vehicle.
At this time, the juvenile’s case has not yet been transferred to adult court.
