A 13-year-old was arrested Friday on suspicion of driving into an Aurora home, injuring a woman inside and fleeing the scene, police said.

Aurora officers responded to the crash in the 1100 block of North Jamaica Street at 8:57 a.m. Friday, police spokesperson Gabby Easterwood said. When officers arrived, they found that a car had hit the home and the driver had fled the scene. Easterwood said the teen left the scene on foot.

Paramedics took a woman inside the home to the hospital with serious injuries, Easterwood said. A second woman inside the home at the time of the crash was not injured.

Officers later arrested an unidentified 13-year-old on suspicion of leaving the scene of an accident resulting in serious bodily injury and careless driving, Easterwood said.

It’s unknown why the 13-year-old was driving.
