GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) - A 6-year-old child in Arizona took his parents’ car keys and drove a pickup truck into a nearby home, causing a gas leak in the house, authorities said.
The Glendale Police Department reported Tuesday that the officers responded to a car crash in a neighborhood Tuesday about 20 miles (32 kilometers) northwest of Phoenix.
No serious injuries were reported, but one person in the home suffered minor injuries, authorities said.
Police said the boy woke up in the middle of the night, grabbed his parents’ keys to their truck and made it three houses down before crashing into the fourth home, causing serious damage.
The Glendale Fire Department had to secure the utilities before the truck could be safely pulled out of the house. The truck was pulled out of the house around 7:30 a.m., authorities said.
Police say the child is OK and is back with his parents. An investigation is ongoing.
