A 13-year-old girl took her parents' Tesla for a spin around California and ended the ride with a major crash.

At around 4:35am on 1 August, Santa Rosa Police Department (SRPD) officers were sent to the area of 729 King Street after reports of a collision.

Police, fire and medical personnel responded to the scene where they found a 'severely damaged' black Tesla. The vehicle appeared to have crashed into a utility pole at the location.

Three juveniles - who remain unnamed - were found at the scene of the incident.

A statement released by police said: "Miraculously, all had only minor injuries and were out of the Tesla and walking."

"After speaking with the juveniles, it appears a 13-year-old female had been driving her parents’ Tesla without permission," the SRPD said in a Facebook post.

Officers were called to the scene of the collision.

"Based on the juveniles’ statements, the driver lost control on King Street when she hit a dip in the road, causing her to lose even more control."

Authorities determined that the vehicle hit three parked vehicles, a utility pole, and a street sign.
