Michigan Police Say 10-year-old in Stolen Car Chases Police to Visit Mom

Over the Memorial Day weekend, motorists in Michigan witnessed something very unusual: a toddler at the wheel of an SUV. According to a press release issued by the Michigan State Police on June 1, a 10-year-old boy stole a Buick Encore from a driveway in Buena Vista on May 27 and took it into a nearby highway.

The stolen vehicle was found near Birch Run by state troopers when they responded to I-75 after getting a report from the in-car security service OnStar. The troopers followed the SUV for almost a mile with their lights on, but the driver still refused to pull over.

The car eventually came to a stop against a guardrail after being disabled by OnStar. Over the Memorial Day weekend, motorists in Michigan witnessed something very unusual: a toddler at the wheel of an SUV.
