Police say they believe the driver lost control of his vehicle. It careened off the road, through the school’s parking lot and smashed into a door.

The driver and a passenger got out and ran off, police say.

The passenger was apprehended and taken to a hospital with a minor injury, they said.

The driver remains at large.

Duke Energy crews scrambled to the school to restore power in time for classes to begin.
