5-Year Old Drove to California to Buy Himself a Lamborghini
According to Utah Highway Patrol, as posted on Twitter, the boy drove away in the SUV following an argument with his mom who told him they wouldn't be buying a luxury car for him.
Also according to the highway patrol, one of the troopers saw the SUV intertwining at 30 mph on Interstate 15. In addition, the troopers told KSL-TV, a CNN affiliate, they at first, thought the boy was a driver who had a disability.
Specifically, Trooper Rick Morgan said via the traffic stop's dashcam footage, he asked the boy, about his age saying, "You're five years old?"
Surprisingly too, he told the five-year-old, "Wow," and asked where he learned how to drive. Morgan explained to KSL-TV that he needed to help the boy get the vehicle into park.
With only $3 in His Wallet
Morgan said, the boy was seated on his car seat's front edge, so hid foot could reach the brake pedal and keep the car stopped as he was standing there.
And when pulled over, the child explained to the trooper his intention why he drove the vehicle to California was to buy for himself a Lamborghini.
Amusingly, the little boy said he had $3 to buy the luxury car. The lowest price to buy a brand-new Lamborghini is roughly $200,000.
No one was reported hurt, and Morgan said, it would be for the local prosecutor to decide if charges would be file against the parents as they reportedly left the boy in under the care of his sibling while they were away from home.
How the Little Boy Drove Away from Home
Troopers were able to get ahold of the family of the boy. They confirmed the boy was indeed, five years old. In addition, the authorities found that both parents were working and just the boy's sibling was the one to supposedly watching him.
Moreover, members of the family told troopers the little boy got so upset with his mother when he was told she wouldn't allow him to buy a Lamborghini.
Relatively, the parents also explained to the investigators their son had never driven before and that they had not had any problems like that prior to the incident that took place on Monday.
It was perceived thought, that the boy grabbed the keys off the hook at home, started the vehicle, and made it to the 1-15 South at 21st Street from his Lincoln Avenue home. The authorities said the boy was able to make a five-minute drive to the freeway from his home.
Recalling his conversation with the boy, Morgan said the latter was upset and was about to cry when he was pulled over. The young boy told the troopers, he was trying to get to his sister's California home and that he wanted to buy a Lamborghini, too.
