6-year-old takes mom’s car after missing bus
A Virginia first grader who missed the school bus decided to take action by driving his mom’s car to school instead.
The word “miracle” can be overused. But when a 6-year-old boy drives a Ford Taurus for more than 10 miles, weaving in and out of oncoming traffic, slams into a utility pole and no one gets hurt, well, maybe miracle is appropriate.
That’s what happened on Virginia’s Northern Neck on Monday morning, when the first-grader missed his school bus and decided to drive his mom’s car to elementary school so he wouldn’t miss breakfast and PE, authorities said yesterday.
“It’s a miracle that somebody didn’t get killed,” said Northumberland County Sheriff Chuck Wilkins of the boy’s drive along Northumberland Highway. “We’re a rural area, but if we do have a rush hour, that’s it.”
