OGDEN, Utah — A young boy was lucky to escape unharmed after taking his family's car Sunday morning.
Ogden Police said they received a call for a joyriding incident around 8 a.m. The 7-year-old reportedly got access to his mother's vehicle in Clearfield and drove off. His younger sister was also in the car with him.
Police said the kid driver traveled from Clearfield into Ogden by the time they received reports of "reckless driving."
Officers tried to conduct a traffic stop, but the boy did not pull over. They chose not to pursue for the sake of safety.
The car came to a stop after hitting a curb at 40th Street and Washington Avenue in Ogden.
Nobody was injured, and police said the children were given breakfast at the police station before being returned to their family.
