The following is a press release from the Peoria Police Department:
Driver:
John T. Hock W/M, 16 years old, life threatening injuries
Passenger:
Laura Melton W/F, 17 years old, non-life threatening injuries
Vehicle: Vehicle 2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse
On Saturday, April 12 at 11:30 pm, two Peoria teens were injured as a result of a one-vehicle rollover collision at 91st Avenue and Beardsley Road.
His friends followed him north on 91st Avenue and after the vehicle went through the Beardsley Road intersection he lost control of the vehicle, drove off the road, struck several trees and rolled. Hock was ejected and his passenger, Laura Melton, was helped out by friends.
The friends who were to video Hock's vehicle stated they were too scared to do the video due to the high speeds. They also told investigating officers that Hock had intended to put the video on "YOU TUBE."
The collision is currently under investigation by the Peoria Police Traffic Services Section.
There have been several incidents that have drawn heavy media attention from incidents that occurred involving teens and were placed on "You Tube." The Peoria Police Department strongly recommends that parents sit down with their teens and talk with them about the extremely serious consequences resulting from these "You Tube" stunts. In this case the two injured teens are very lucky to be alive.
