Police in Utah, a
state in the US, have pulled over a five-year-old boy who was caught driving
his parents’ SUV car to California to buy a Lamborghini.
According to Utah
Highway Patrol, the boy had reportedly left home in the car with $3 in his
pocket after his mother disapproved of his request to have a Lamborghini.
The officers, who
spotted the vehicle on the highway, said they thought the boy was an impaired
driver at first.
“One of our Troopers
in Weber Co. initiated a traffic stop on what he thought was an impaired
driver. Turns out it was this young man, age 5, somehow made his way up onto
the freeway in his parents’ car. Made it from 17th and Lincoln in Ogden down to
the 25th St off-ramp SB I-15,” Utah police wrote on Twitter.
“His story is that
he left home after an argument with Mom, in which she told him she would not
buy him a Lamborghini. He decided he’d take the car and go to California to buy
one himself. He might have been short on the purchase amount, as he only had $3
dollars in his wallet.”

The money with him
was far short of the least price required to purchase a new Lamborghini, which
is sold around $200,000.
Rick Morgan, a
trooper, told the Associated Press that the boy did not respond to his lights
but pulled over when he hit his siren.
“I approached the
vehicle and I was expecting to find somebody who needed an ambulance or
paramedics,” he said.
“How old are you?
You’re 5 years old. Wow!,” the trooper can be heard asking the little boy in
the dash camera video of the traffic stop.
“He was sitting on
the front edge of the seat so that he could reach the brake pedal to keep the
car stopped while I was standing there,” he added.
Morgan also
explained that no one was hurt, adding that local prosecutor would decide
whether or not to press charges against the boy’s parents.
He is a potential Movie Star.
