At first, police could not see the driver’s head, which was swerving on the road, and thought that this person may be suffering from health problems.

After stopping the car, the traffic policeman was “stunned” when he discovered a boy behind the wheel.

“You are only 5 years old? Wow!” shouted traffic cop Rick Morgan when the boy answered about his age.

“So where did you learn to drive?” Rick Morgan asked.

According to police, the boy, who cannot be named to protect his identity, drove about five minutes from his home to Interstate 15 in Ogden, Wyoming.

Rick Morgan said the boy had to sit close to the edge of the seat so that his feet could touch the brake and accelerator.

“It is not clear how he observes the street. At first I thought he was about 8 or 9 years old, but he claimed he was only 5 years old. His family also confirmed it,” police officer Rick Morgan expressed surprise.

The boy cried after being stopped by the police and explained that he had stolen his parents’ car to go to California to buy a Lamborghini (a high-end sports car with a starting price of 200,000 USD / unit). . However, this boy only had… 3 dollars in his pocket.

“He said that his parents would definitely not buy him a Lamborghini. Parents said he had never learned to drive and this was the first time their child did it,” the Utah State Traffic Patrol posted on Twitter.

Lieutenant Nick Street, a spokesman for the Wyoming Highway Patrol, said there were no fines following the incident.
