Two thieves stole a vehicle in Norfolk, Virginia on Wednesday morning, but had to make a pit stop after they realized a young boy was in the backseat!

The boy's mother left the car for about 20 minutes, but came back to find her car AND 8-year-old son were missing! Norfolk police spokeswoman Melinda Wray told People:

After getting hit, the driver jumped out of the vehicle, which crashed head on into a Dodge Durango carrying a family of three. Reports say the family suffered
