Stony Point, NY — A dramatic multi-agency police pursuit involving a juvenile driver came to a close in Stony Point on Tuesday, June 17, after the suspect vehicle struck a school bus and sped through residential yards before becoming disabled on large rocks. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.

The incident began around 3:30 PM when the Clarkstown Police Department notified the Stony Point Police Department of a vehicle involved in a road rage incident in Clarkstown. The vehicle, which had ties to an address in Stony Point, was quickly located by local patrol units near the Palisades Interstate Parkway (PIP) Exit 15, close to Route 210 and Willow Grove Road.

When officers attempted to stop the vehicle using emergency lights, the driver reversed into an occupied school bus on the ramp. The vehicle then fled onto Route 210, back onto the PIP southbound, and then into the northbound lanes, before exiting again at Willow Grove Road. The driver continued to evade multiple marked police vehicles, weaving through town streets and plowing through several residential yards, causing minor property damage along the way.

The chase ended when the suspect vehicle became stuck on large rocks, rendering it immobile. Officers from Stony Point PD, assisted by detectives and multiple outside agencies, quickly apprehended the juvenile driver and passenger without incident.

The juvenile driver was processed at the Stony Point Police Station and later turned over to the Clarkstown Police Department to face more serious charges stemming from the original road rage incident.

The pursuit prompted a significant law enforcement response, including support from the New York State Police, New York State Park Police, Haverstraw Police Department, and the Rockland County Sheriff’s Office.

Authorities expressed relief that no injuries occurred to civilians, officers, or the suspects. The incident remains under investigation by multiple jurisdictions.
