Three males were arrested by Gardaí following a burglary in Athy on 28 December.
A 16-year-old male is scheduled to appear before a special sitting of Naas District Court on Friday morning charged in connection with the arrests on the Naas Road on Thursday, 28 December.
One youth was released without charge on Thursday night, another remains in Garda custody and one remains in Tallaght Hospital.
The three men were arrested by Gardaí following a burglary in Athy on Thursday.
Gardaí received reports of a burglary at a house in Athy at about 3pm. The occupants of the house returned home as the intruders fled from the scene in a waiting car.
During a follow-up operation, members of a Garda anti-burglary unit intercepted a car on the N7 Naas Road at approximately 3.45pm. The car initially stopped for Gardaí, but, when approached, sped off in the direction of Dublin. Moments later, this car was involved in a collision with another car on the Naas Road at Junction 8, Johnstown.
One of the occupants of the car, a man in his teens, was taken by ambulance to Tallaght Hospital where his condition is described as serious.
Three other youths, all understood to be teenage males, were arrested during follow up searches near the crash site a short time later.
The driver and sole occupant of the second car were taken to Naas Hospital with minor injuries.
