CLIFTON HEIGHTS - An Upper Darby man's seven-minute joyride ended badly when he crashed a stolen car into a concrete barrier outside the Burger King in Glenolden.
Richard McHugh is charged with theft, receiving stolen property, assault, unauthorized use of automobiles, resisting arrest, DUI and related offenses in connection with the incident that took place around 8 p.m. Monday.
The owner of the 1997 Saturn told police she parked at the 7-Eleven on Baltimore Avenue in Clifton Heights around 7:55 p.m. and went inside, leaving her keys in the car. When she left the store, the car was gone.
A witness told police he saw a man get into the car and drive away, according to the affidavit of probable cause written by Sgt. Timothy Rockenbach. A description of the stolen vehicle was broadcast over police radio.
At 7:59 p.m., Darby Borough Officer David Cuddhy spotted the car and attempted to make a traffic stop. The driver, later identified as McHugh, sped off with Cuddhy in pursuit, the affidavit states.
Collingdale Officer Patrick Kilroy was driving in the direction of the pursuit and saw the stolen car on MacDade Boulevard in Glenolden, according to the affidavit. McHugh allegedly forced Kilroy's patrol car off of the road. Kilroy made a U-turn and joined in the chase.
As McHugh sped off, he allegedly struck a car at Clifton Avenue and MacDade Boulevard, causing minor damage. Continuing to flee at about 70 mph, McHugh allegedly struck two more vehicles at MacDade Boulevard and Cook Avenue.
Undeterred, McHugh continued toward MacDade and South Avenue, where he allegedly struck a vehicle stopped for traffic, according to police. McHugh lost control of the Saturn and slammed into a concrete barrier at the Burger King restaurant at the MacDade Mall, according to the affidavit. The stolen car came to rest in the parking lot of the adjacent Commerce Bank.
McHugh allegedly jumped out of the car and tried to get car keys from a female bank customer. When the woman retreated, McHugh confronted another bank patron. The man fought back as Cuddhy and Kilroy arrived at the scene. After putting up a fight, McHugh was taken into custody at 8:02 p.m., according to the affidavit.
He was transported to Crozer-Chester Medical Center's trauma unit for treatment of injuries he received when he crashed the car into the concrete abutment.
Magisterial District Judge Michael Cullen arraigned McHugh at his hospital bedside. Cullen set bail at $100,000.

In the end, new tires or a ticket costs more than Atco. Street racing is dumb. Retarts with time do it because they THINK they have an excuse.

hahaha gotta love it. one time when i was working at a gas station in roxborough, i saw an lt1 impala fly up ridge, slam on the brakes and basically fishtail around the corner i was at. a half minute later 2 cop cars do the same thing

i love high speed pursuit.

I truely believe that if you leave the keys in the car it shouldn't be considered stolen.

You should be told you are dumb and sent on your way.

Haha I agree! Even if I step in the house for 5 minutes I lock up, and I live in the country.

yea i rarely leave my car running, even at my one job where theres normaly never anyone coming through, but occasionaly there will be a crackhead or two tryin to scrap some metal from our dumpster.... i work at a factory next to boeing and scrapping is big down there, not too much on our lot because we normaly dont have anything, but once or twice i have had a run in with a fiend out near the dumpster, we carry hammers and such on our forklift when we ride out there for just that reason.... but they rarely come closer to the plant where we park, if i need to warm the car up or cool it down before leaving, i normaly bring my valet key and arm the system after i start it up.... but leaving the keys in your car, with the car open, is just idiotic. this reminds me.... i need to get a remote starter installed on my car.

[twistedlanes]

shiiiit I Used to leave the 240 running all the time..i figured if you can figure out how to drive that bytch you got it lol.
