Two teenage girls – including a 15-year-old driver – were arrested after a 90-mile-per hour police chase that ended in a crash in Cedar Hills late Thursday night, the

reported.

Shortly before midnight, a sheriff's deputy attempted to pull over a Ford Edge SUV at

in

-- on suspicion that the driver was impaired , said Sgt. Vance Stimler, a sheriff's office spokesman. Instead of stopping, the driver reportedly sped off.

The deputy pursued the vehicle, which wound up on southbound Oregon 217, Stimler said. The driver sped down the highway, Stimler said, and while trying to negotiate a turn on the offramp to

lost control.

The vehicle reportedly smashed into an unoccupied parked truck, sending it down a 20-foot embankment off Walker Road. Stimler said a total of five teenage girls – all of whom had been drinking – were inside the car, but none was injured.

Stimler said the girl and deputy's speeds exceeded 90 miles per hour.

The deputy talked to the girls, Stimler said, and learned that the Edge was taken from a close family friend of a 14-year-old passenger in the vehicle. The family friend, Stimler said, is visiting for the holidays and the vehicle belongs to her employer.

The 14-year-old, Stimler said, had taken the keys to the vehicle to "go for a joy ride." Because the 14-year-old doesn't know how to drive, the 15-year-old drove, Stimler said.

The 14-year-old was arrested on an accusation of unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, Stimler said, and lodged in the

juvenile detention facility in Portland. The Oregonian does not name juveniles who are arrested, unless they are accused of

.

The 15-year-old driver, Stimler said, was arrested on accusations of driving under the influence of intoxicants, unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, possession of a stolen vehicle, criminal mischief and reckless driving. She too was lodged at the Donald E. Long facility.

The three other passengers, Stimler said, were cited on minor in possession of alcohol accusations.
