(KAIR)--A 10-year-old Atchison child was taken into custody on Tuesday after crashing his parents vehicle.
“At 3:50 a.m. this morning our officers investigated an accident that occurred in the 400 block of South 18th,” said Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson. “A 10-year-old boy had driven his parents’ car out of the driveway and struck a nearby house.”
Wilson said the boy then crashed the vehicle into a tree.
“He left the area on foot but our officers located him several blocks away, and he was taken into custody as a child in need of care,” Wilson said.
The boy was not injured, and Wilson says the courts will be reviewing the case to determine further actions.
