A pair of young siblings decided they wanted to visit their beloved grandma, taking matters into their own tiny hands. It’s no secret that kids often prefer their grandparents’ houses. After all, who wouldn’t want to indulge in endless treats and cartoons? With that in mind, it’s not surprising that two preschoolers attempted a daring adventure to reach Grandma’s house — by driving themselves there!
Yes, you read that correctly. According to a local news report, the pint-sized duo, aged just three and five, managed to start their mom’s SUV and set off on their quest. Unfortunately, their escapade took a wild turn when they crashed into another car at a nearby intersection.
A neighbor, Emily Johnson, recounted the moment she heard the commotion to KATU News, saying, “It was like a loud bang! I ran outside and couldn’t believe what I saw. I realized it was our neighbor’s vehicle, but I had no idea those little ones were in it alone.” Thankfully, both children were unharmed, and the other driver only sustained minor injuries. “I held their hands and asked where their mom was. They told me, ‘Sleeping. We want to go to Grandma’s house,’” Emily added, expressing her concern while waiting for their mother to appear.
Oh, the horror! We’ve all experienced those moments of drifting off while watching cartoons on the couch, only to wake up and realize the kids have vanished. I’ve been lucky enough to find my little adventurers rummaging through the fridge or playing dress-up. They could just as easily have taken my car for a spin, so I dare not judge this mom for catching some much-needed rest.
As of now, authorities have not announced any plans to file charges against the parents. Despite the severity of the situation, it serves as a reminder that accidents can happen to anyone — kids can be quite crafty! Local resident Tom Richards, who also witnessed the incident, stated, “Honestly, I’m just glad they’re all okay. They definitely had a guardian angel watching over them.”
