MINNEAPOLIS — A 19-year-old man is in the hospital after crashing a stolen car in Minneapolis. 

The Minnesota State Patrol says alcohol played a factor in the crash, which happened just before noon on Monday.

The man was driving a Hyundai Elantra southbound on Interstate 35W near 35th Street when he lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a wall, authorities say.

He was taken to Hennepin County Medical Center with life-threatening injuries. 

The state patrol says he was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash and the airbag did not deploy.
