[Asia Economy Reporter Shinwon Yoon] In the United States, a 5-year-old boy was caught by highway patrol after driving his parents' car in an attempt to buy a luxury sports car, a Lamborghini.

According to NBC News and others on the 5th (local time), the previous day, highway patrol spotted an SUV swerving left and right without maintaining a steady lane on a highway in Utah. The vehicle was moving at 32 miles per hour (51 km/h) on a highway with a speed limit of 70 miles per hour (112 km/h).

The patrol officer approached the vehicle, considering the possibility of a medical emergency, only to find a young child sitting in the driver's seat. The police reported that the child was barely perched on the edge of the driver's seat to reach the pedals.

When asked how old he was, the child replied he was 5 years old and said he had driven his parents' car to visit a Lamborghini dealership in California. It was confirmed that the child's wallet contained 3 dollars, approximately 3,600 Korean won.

According to the police, the child had been pestering his parents to buy a Lamborghini worth hundreds of millions of won, but after being scolded, he secretly took the car and drove off.

The child's parents had left the child in the care of his older sister and went out. While the sister was asleep, the child took the car keys and carried out this act.

However, after driving about 4 kilometers on the highway, the child was caught by the patrol and handed over to the parents.

The police stated that fortunately no one was injured, but it was an extremely dangerous situation that endangered many lives, and they are reviewing whether there are ways to criminally punish the parents.
