Philip Foster told Regan he has seen better days.

It was his car that ended up lying in the creek bed, totaled.

“Somebody stole my car. I found it. Then they stole it again while I was waiting for a locksmith,” Foster said.

Police said four people, possibly young teens, stole the car and went speeding down Burbank Drive.

Their car crashed head-on into another car heading the opposite way.

A woman who lives next door, who didn't wish to be identified, witnessed the chaotic scene.

“Just heard a loud boom,” the woman said.

Police have arrested three suspects. Officers told Regan there were no life-threatening injuries for anyone involved in the wreck.
