Car Crashes Into South Carolina Home During Police Chase

A car fleeing Greenville County deputies crashed into a house on Renwood Road in Simpsonville, South Carolina, on Oct. 15, 2026, and two occupants ran from the scene on foot, according to the Greenville County Sheriff's Office. No injuries were reported in the crash, the office said in a Facebook update cited by the New York Post.
The chase began around 2:30 p.m. that day when deputies tried to stop a vehicle reported stolen, the sheriff's office said. The driver did not stop, and the car crashed into the home moments later. Two police cars arrived shortly after impact, with one officer pursuing one of the two people who fled.
What does the dashcam video show?
The crash was captured on a grocery delivery driver's dashboard camera. Kristina Andriukova, 32, was carrying a delivery to the home's front door when she heard the impact. "I turned around and saw that a car had crashed into the house," Andriukova said, according to the New York Post. She initially assumed a driver had hit the gas instead of the brake while pulling into a garage. The arrival of police cars with sirens running changed that assessment. "Moments later, police cars arrived with their sirens on, and I saw someone running away," she said. "That's when I realized it was actually a police chase."
Andriukova's dashcam recorded the sequence because she had broken from her usual routine of pulling into the driveway and instead parked on the street, the Post reported.
Who was arrested, and what are they charged with?
The sheriff's office said two juveniles, ages 15 and 16, are in custody and face charges of possession of a stolen vehicle. The office did not release additional charges tied to the crash or the foot pursuit in the material reviewed.
