The driver was just 10 years old and his sister, 8, was also in the vehicle early Monday morning in Colorado Springs on Union Boulevard near Memorial Park. They only got about three miles before they crashed and rolled the Dodge Durango.
The boy stole the car keys earlier in the day and took the car on a joyride around 1:30 a.m., hours after their mother put them to bed.
The boy drove the car less than three miles before seeing a Colorado Springs police car, then panicked, lost control and crashed. The SUV was smoking when officers arrived.
Both children were taken the hospital with head injuries but are expected to fully recover.
