The boy’s mother said he had never driven a car and “accidentally” put it in reverse, then put it into drive when it started moving.
An 8-year-old boy took off in his mother’s SUV and drove through a North Carolina city with an infant sibling in the back seat, police said.
Gastonia police said the boy’s mother reported that she handed the boy her keys and asked him to start the vehicle as they left a relative’s home on Tuesday night, WSOC-TV reported. But police said the boy did more than start the SUV — he drove across town with his 1-year-old sibling in the back seat.
In a 911 call, the boy's mother reported that the two children were missing, and the family wasn't sure if someone stole the car or a child drove it away.Stay informed about New England news and weather. Get the NECN app for
