AURORA, Ind. (AP) - A 10-year-old Indiana boy led police on a high-speed chase along U.S. 50 near Cincinnati before crashing his parents' minivan.
  
Police say the Aurora boy was treated for minor injuries at a hospital and then taken to a juvenile detention center in Lawrenceburg.
  
Police say the three-mile chase began in Aurora about 8:40 a.m. Thursday after the boy took his parents' minivan. The van hit several vehicles before police set out "stop sticks" to try to stop it in Lawrenceburg, but the boy swerved around the spikes and struck a utility pole.
  
Aurora Police Chief Dana Cotton says the boy could face felony charges of auto theft and evading police.
