A 5-year-old boy was caught by authorities after he managed to drive his parents’ car on the freeway in Utah, United States.

The unidentified boy was apparently on his way to California to buy a Lamborghini car when a Utah Highway Patrol (UHP) trooper spotted him, as per UHP’s Twitter post today, May 5.

The traffic enforcer stopped the vehicle thinking it was being driven by an impaired driver. According to UHP’s follow-up post, the boy left his house after having an argument with his mother, who refused to buy the kid a luxury car.

The authorities also said the boy might be short on purchasing any vehicle since he only had $3 (about P150) in his wallet.

The trooper contacted the boy’s parents and they immediately went to the scene, according to the officer’s interview with ABC-affiliate KTVX yesterday, May 4. The parents were apparently both at work when the boy took off.
