8-y-o girl takes SUV, drives herself to Target in US
An 8-year-old girl reportedly drove an SUV from her Ohio home to a store 13 miles away.
According to a report from The Associated Press, authorities said the girl, who was reported missing on Sunday, was found unharmed inside a Target store. The 2020 Nissan Rogue she was driving was also found nearby.
Police say the small child had been spotted driving a vehicle on a nearby road. When she was found, the girl told officers she had struck a mailbox while driving, but nothing else.
AP News said authorities did not say why she had decided to travel to the store or provide further details about her trip.
The girl is too young to be charged criminally, police said. It wasn’t clear Monday if any charges would be filed in the matter, which remains under investigation.
