Boy, 5, Takes Pickup for Joyride, Hitting Building

Friday, May 16, 2008

JAMESTOWN, N.Y. —  Videotape from a security camera shows a 5-year-old upstate boy starting up his grandmother's pickup truck and driving it around a parking lot before crashing into a building.

Police in Jamestown, 60 miles south of Buffalo, say the boy could start the truck without a key because the ignition was broken. He hit a parked car twice before crossing a street, going through a fence, down a 12-foot embankment and into the corner of a brick building.

Police say the boy had just a minor arm injury.

A security camera on a building overlooking the parking lot shows the boy running to the truck, climbing inside and turning on the wipers and lights before driving in a circle, sideswiping the parked car and narrowly missing a moving vehicle.

No one has been charged.
