Stolen Car Crashes Into South Carolina Home, Teens Flee

A stolen vehicle crashed into a South Carolina home in Simpsonville on Oct. 15, 2026, after the occupants fled from deputies, according to the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies attempted to stop the reported stolen vehicle around 2:30 p.m. The driver did not stop and continued to flee before crashing into a residence on Renwood Road. Video released by the sheriff's office shows the car impacting the house before authorities pursued fleeing suspects.

Two teenagers, ages 15 and 16, were apprehended and charged with possession of a stolen vehicle. No injuries were reported in the incident. A deputy can be heard asking if anyone inside the home was injured as authorities assessed the damage.

Deputies did not pursue the car prior to the crash, according to the sheriff's office. Following the collision, K9 teams and drone operators were deployed to assist in the search for the individuals who fled the scene. The video footage shows a dog tracking a scent from the vehicle.

"When someone decides to run from law enforcement in Greenville County, they quickly learn that our deputies have more than one way to find them," the sheriff’s office stated in a social media post accompanying the video. "You can run, but our deputies have a pretty impressive toolbox. And they know how to use it."

Neighbors described hearing a loud crash. One resident, Rachel Bush, said she was putting her baby down for a nap when the incident occurred, expressing gratitude that her family was inside at the time. Another resident stated that no one was home when the car crashed, but they returned minutes later to find the damage.

The resident whose home was struck noted that the vehicle narrowly missed another car in the garage. He also advised the teenagers involved to consider the consequences of their actions, stating, "Think about what you are doing; you never know if it’s going to impact lives."
