A 9-year-old boy took his grandma’s car for a high-speed drive in northwest Indiana that ended in a fiery crash, authorities said on Thursday.
Around 11 a.m. on Sept. 11, officers with the Gary Police Department responded to the 3400 block of Dunes Highway after a report of a crash. When they got there, the officers found an unoccupied and extensively damaged 2018 Chevrolet Equinox that caught fire after its driver struck a utility pole, police said.
Witnesses told the officers at the scene that the SUV had been moving at a high speed before the crash and that it appeared the driver had lost control before crashing into the pole and “going into the bush,” authorities said.
While officers investigated the crash, a 9-year-old boy who appeared disoriented and had minor scratches came out from a nearby bush and told police he had been driving the car. Police later determined that he had taken his grandmother’s vehicle without permission and was trying to drive home when he crashed.
The boy, who was the sole occupant of the vehicle, was taken to a local hospital for medical evaluation, police said. He was released to a guardian after the evaluation and testing.
The Department of Child Services was notified and an investigation by detectives assigned to the Gary Police Department Juvenile Division remains ongoing, authorities said.
