OGDEN, Utah — A 5-year-old boy drove off in his parents’ car before the Utah Highway Patrol stopped him for “impaired driving” Monday afternoon.
A Trooper spotted a car swerving and breaking in the southbound lanes on Interstate 15 in Ogden, Utah Highway Patrol spokesman Lt. Nick Street told EastIdahoNews.com. The trooper turned on his flashing lights and to his amazement, the kid was behind the wheel.
“He actually pulled over,” Street said.
The boy reportedly made it several miles in the car after an argument with his mother in which she said she wouldn’t buy him a Lamborghini, UHP said in tweets. Troopers said the boy took the car intending to drive to California and buy one of the luxury sports cars himself.
“He might have been short on the purchase amount, as he only had $3 dollars in his wallet,” UHP tweeted.
Street said they are working with the Weber County Attorney’s Office to see if charges will be filed against the boy’s parents.
