Six-Year-Old Drives To School, GTA Style

I like to think that nothing surprises me anymore, and then I read the news. The latest in OMGWTF moments from the world of real life stuff is the following: a six year old kid from Virginia missed the bus to school. Fully determined to get to school, the kid took his family’s car and drove himself there.

He made it six miles before getting into an accident.

Thankfully, no one was seriously hurt, which is somewhat surprising considering:

He made at least two 90-degree turns, passed several cars and ran off the rural two-lane road several times before hitting an embankment and utility pole about a mile and a half from school.

Impressive.

Now what’s this piece of news doing on a blog about video games? Well, it seems that our dear stunt kid learned to “drive” thanks to GTA and Monster Truck Jam.

You have to hand it to this kid for seriously, seriously wanting to get to school. I mean, that’s some crazy determination. Of course, he could’ve just woken his parents up and asked them to drive.

More seriously though, the parents are being charged with child endangerment, and both the six year old and his four year old brother have been put under protective custody.

Watch those car keys, people.
