A fearless 5-year-old boy who drove a family car told police he was heading to California to buy his dream car Lamborghini with $3 in his pocket got the chance to ride in his favorite sports car.
Utah Highway Police officer caught his attention on a moving SUV swerving on the freeway at a speed of 32mph, thinking that it was an "impaired driver",but he couldn't see a head above the seat.
When he approached the driver side window, he was surprised, it showed a child wearing a Utah Royals soccer hoodie.
One of our Troopers in Weber Co. initiated a traffic stop on what he thought was an impaired driver. Turns out it was this young man, age 5, somehow made his way up onto the freeway in his parents' car. Made it from 17th and Lincoln in Ogden down to the 25th St off-ramp SB I-15. pic.twitter.com/3aF1g22jRB— Utah Highway Patrol (@UTHighwayPatrol) May 4, 2020
“You’re five years old. Wow!” the trooper, Rick Morgan, said in the dash camera video which was posted on Utah Highway Patrol twitter account.. He then asked him, “OK, where did you learn how to drive a car?”

When officer Morgan asked why he was driving his parent's SUV, the boy told him that he was heading to California to buy a Lamborghini for himself. It would takes more than 9 hours to drive from Utah to Los Angeles California. The boy managed to drive about two to three miles from his home before he was pulled over.
A day after the boy made headlines for his stunt, local entrepreneur Jeremy Neves offered him the chance to ride in his black, two-seater Huracan.
Neves told Deseret News that even though the joyride was dangerous and he doesn't want to encourage similar behavior, he wanted to cheer the boy up.
CNN reported that Adrian is now grounded and would be doing more chores, his sister Sidney Estrada confirmed.
