Witnesses reportedly told investigators they saw the car driving down James Robertson Parkway at speeds more than 55 mph before it turned into Germantown. The car eventually crashed into another vehicle at Seventh Avenue and Hume Street, the THP said.

Four juveniles in the car were arrested and will be charged in Wilson County. Troopers said they found ammunition but no weapons inside the car, which had been reported stolen out of Davidson County.
