17 Year Old Identified As Driver Critically Injured Following Crash In Stolen Car

The driver of the stolen Audi Q5 who was critically injured in Friday morning's single vehicle crash on Murfreesboro Pike near Morris Gentry Boulevard has been identified as 17-year-old Corey Carpenter. The preliminary investigation indicates the Audi was traveling south at a high rate of speed passing vehicles in the right turn lane when it hit a curb causing it to go airborne before striking a utility pole and then a culvert.

Carpenter was not wearing his seatbelt. He was found 115 feet away from the Audi.

He was transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Center where he remains with life-threatening injuries.
The Audi was reported stolen on Thursday from a home's garage on Criddle Street. The keys were left inside the vehicle.

Two handguns, a 9-millimeter magazine, and two laptops were recovered from inside the Audi after the crash.
