A dramatic car chase in Holstebro, Denmark, ended with a 13-year-old boy behind the wheel, prompting an investigation by local authorities.

In the early hours, a dramatic car chase unfolded in the town of Holstebro, Denmark, involving a vehicle driven by a mere 13-year-old boy. During the pursuit, the vehicle ran multiple red lights, creating a hazardous situation in the vicinity. The chase concluded on a field north of Holstebro suburb Mejrup when police intervention led to the car being stopped following what was described as a minor collision.
