CLEVELAND, Ohio -- A 10-year-old boy on Thursday drove his mother's car some 45 miles to Milan, leading police and state troopers on a chase that topped 100 miles per hour, according to law enforcement officials.

The boy took his mother's car about 9 a.m. and drove from Headley Avenue as his sister was getting ready to take him to school, according to Cleveland police.

He was first spotted by Westlake police as he drove on Interstate 90 west, Westlake police said.

Two drivers who called 911 told Westlake police it looked like the boy's mother was chasing her child as they drove in separate cars on the highway. Both said the boy was speeding, swerving and nearly ran a couple other cars off the road, according to 911 calls.

Westlake officers chased him through Lorain and Erie counties, reaching speeds of up to 96 miles per hour, according to Westlake police.

Westlake police pulled back after the boy entered the Ohio Turnpike. State troopers picked up the chase, which topped 100 miles per hour, according to Highway Patrol Lt. Richard Reeder.

At one point, a trooper pulled up next to the boy and motioned for him to stop. The boy shook his head and sped up, Reeder said. Troopers put spike strips on the road, but the boy drove into a ditch and avoided the trap, Reeder said. He continued driving in the ditch for about a half-mile until two troopers bumped his car.

The boy then hit a road sign and eventually stopped, Reeder said. The boy kicked and spit on a trooper after he was arrested, Reeder said.

The boy was not injured but was taken to Fisher Titus Medical Center as a precaution, according to Reeder. He will be taken to the Erie County Juvenile Detention Center after he's released from the hospital. Cuyahoga and Erie county prosecutors will decide where to file charges, Reeder said.

No one was injured during the chase, Reeder said. One patrol cruiser and the car the boy was driving had minor damage, Reeder said.

It is the second time in as many weeks the boy took his mother's car for a spin, police said.

The boy on Oct. 16 was spotted driving on Interstate 90 near West 117th Street after taking his mother's car. The boy stopped the car because it had three flat tires, according to police.

The boy told the officers he took his mother's car because he was bored, police said.
