Three Florida teens stole a Maserati and drove at incredibly high speed to evade Police, until the car became airborne, flipped over and crashed, killing one of the occupants, this according to a new police video.
The dead is a 15-year-old teen while two other teens got seriously injured after crashing a Maserati that they had just stolen around 3:20 a.m. on Sunday morning in St. Petersburg, Florida, according to the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office.
It is alleged that Keondrick Lang, a 15-year-old used his t-shirt to open the door of the 2016 Maserati to avoid getting fingerprints on the handle. The door was unlocked and the keys were in the car. Lang started driving with 16-year-old Malachi Daniels and 15-year-old Mario Bonilla as passengers, sheriff’s office reported.
Officers on the ground were alerted to the possible vehicle-theft-in-progress and tried to get near the vehicle to stop the teens before they got away, but the Maserati took off. Lang was driving. Bonilla was in the front passenger seat and Daniels was in the back.
Although the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office has a no road chase policy, the teens began speeding once they saw there were deputies in the area, the teens took off as if they were being chased, according to the sheriff.

The sheriff said the teens did not have much of a criminal history, however, the three teens had been stopped earlier that day by deputies in while Kenneth City, who were walking through a neighborhood early in the morning, their parents were called and the teens were returned home. The teens were also reported not to be having driver’s licenses.
The Maserati MC12 is an extremely special car. Only 50 were ever sold to the public, each for around $1.5 million. It was Maserati’s version of the Ferrari Enzo supercar, meant to be a flagship for the small, growing brand. This modified MC12 is for sale, and it has an astonishing 81,050 kilometers, or roughly 50,000 miles on the odometer.
