6-year-old crashes car trying to get to school

Car crash
What a car crash might look like

A 6-year-old Virginia boy who missed his school bus proved unexpectedly keen on getting to school - so much so that he took the family car and tried to drive to school.

Unsurprisingly, he crashed it.

State police say the boy suffered only minor injuries, and authorities drove him to school after he was evaluated at a local hospital. Sgt. Tom Cunningham says the boy arrived shortly after lunch.

The crash happened around 7:40 a.m. Monday on Route 360 in Virginia, about 60 miles east of the state capital Richmond.

Police say that after missing the bus, the boy - who hasn't been named - took the keys to his family's 2005 Ford Taurus while his mother was asleep, and drove 10 miles toward school.

He ran off the road several times before finally hitting an embankment and utility pole about a mile and a half from school. So he almost made it.

Police say he wasn't wearing a safety belt.
