Schierling (dpa / lby) - A 16-year-old without a driver's license secretly took a spin in his mother's car and caused a total write-off.

The youngster was in Schierling (Regensburg district) at high speed in a roundabout, the police said on Wednesday.

The car overturned in the air, hit a wall, and finally came to rest on the roof.

The 16-year-old and his co-driver of the same age were slightly injured in the accident.

As it turned out, they had also touched a vehicle while driving on Tuesday morning and committed a hit-and-run.
