VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. — A BMW stolen in Volusia County yesterday ended up wrecked after its alleged thief told deputies he “teleported” into the car.
Witnesses reported that the driver was going over 100 mph before the crash.
Calvin Curtis Johnson, 36, the suspect, is currently hospitalized and faces charges of grand theft auto and driving with a suspended license.

Johnson is scheduled to be transferred to the Volusia County Branch Jail after his hospital treatment.
