This could’ve turned out so much worse!!
A three-year-old from Oregon, literally still in diapers, crashed his family’s Jeep into a neighbor’s house!
Apparently, the toddler was playing around in the Jeep and accidentally knocked the manual transmission into neutral.
Because the Jeep was parked on an incline, it began to roll “down the street, through an intersection, up over a curb, through a yard, and into a house.” That’s nuts!
Luckily, the child wasn’t injured at all and there wasn’t a lot of damage to the home.
After the crash, the toddler apparently got out of the car, ran home and went back to watching cartoons on the couch as if nothing had happened.
Jeez! That’s seriously one lucky baby!
The damage to the neighbor’s home was minimal and a “civil compromise” was reached. The police cited a 22-year-old relative of the child for failing to supervise him because they were home at the time.
We can all take away two things from this: always use your parking brake and never leave toddlers unattended!
