A man was busted following a high-speed crash in Brooklyn Saturday — in what police later found was a stolen car, authorities said.

The unidentified man was driving a red Honda Civic east on State Street near Bond Street in Boerum Hill at about 11 a.m. when he sped through the intersection and T-boned another vehicle, sending it flying into two parked cars, video obtained by The Post shows.

The smashup left the joyriding driver and at least two passengers in the other vehicle injured, police said.

“Nobody could get them out, they were locked in the car,” said neighborhood resident Sam Qaudor, 42, who witnessed the crash.

“We were trying to rip the back door, to get the girl out,” said Omar Sabeem, 30, who owns a nearby deli. “We tried opening the door, breaking the door…It was jammed.”

Emergency responders eventually freed the injured passengers and transported them to an area hospital, officials said.

After the wreck, investigators found a wallet in the driver’s back pocket with another man’s ID — and linked it to a car that had been reported stolen just hours earlier in Lower Manhattan, police sources said.

The driver was arrested shortly after the crash and charges are pending, the sources said.
