Last month, after a 9-year-old kid who doesn’t f*ck around missed his school bus, he decided to take his mom’s Volkswagon to his California elementary school. In his defense, he made it just after 9:00 a.m.
It was “a scene straight out of a movie,” wrote the Oroville California Highway Patrol in a Facebook post about the March 27 incident. After spotting the car “stopped oddly in the middle of the intersection,” officers instructed the driver to move, at which point the child “unexpectedly sped off, leading to a short and erratic chase that ended in a dirt parking lot just east of Plumas Avenue Elementary School.”
After coming to a stop, the boy “abruptly reversed the vehicle he was driving, ramming the officer’s patrol car in a moment that could have led to a grave outcome.”
This is when they actually realized it was a kid behind the wheel.
“A few seconds later, I did notice a little head bobbin inside – unusual,” Officer Terry Dunn told CBS19 News. “I exited my patrol vehicle, made an approach, and as I was approaching, I could see a kid which turned out to be a 9-year-old child sticking his head out saying, ‘I’m sorry, I was trying to get to school.”
Dunn added that “several other officers showed up to the scene just to see in fact that it was a 9-year-old driving the vehicle.”
No one got hurt and the kid went to school.
