AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) - The Georgia State Patrol says a 12-year-old driver caused a four-car accident that sent one person to a hospital.

Authorities say at 4:07 p.m. Tuesday, the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office responded to the accident with injuries at the intersection of Martin Luther King Junior Boulevard and Milledgeville Road.

The Georgia State Patrol said a green 1998 stolen Honda Civic was traveling south on Olive Road, driven by a 12-year-old.

The 12-year-old ran a red light at its intersection with Martin Luther King, causing a crash involving three other vehicles that were not at fault, according to GSP.
