A “moron” stole a patrol vehicle and led law enforcement on a high-speed chase that ended with her losing control and crashing into a pickup truck, killing “two innocent people” and herself and critically wounding a person, authorities said.

According to the sheriff’s office, deputies responded Thursday at around 2 p.m. at the Forest Plaza in the 15900 block of E. Highway 40 in the community of Silver Springs. The agency identified the suspect as Kendra Dalyn Boone, 33.

They were told that a woman, later identified as Boone, tried to steal an elderly woman’s keys.

“Boone was unsuccessful, but she attempted to gain access to the woman’s vehicle,” deputies wrote. “When Deputy Witte arrived on scene, he contacted Boone and advised her to go to the rear of his patrol vehicle. Shortly after he exited his patrol vehicle, Boone entered the patrol vehicle through the passenger side and climbed into the driver’s seat.”
