A seven-year-old boy took his grandmothers Geo Tracker on a joyride along several Indiana streets yesterday.
The "Muncie Star Press" reports that the boy ended up near the Muncie Mall, crashing into trees and bushes near two restaurants before a good Samaritan was able to get the keys out.
The grandmother says she put the boy down for a nap.
The next call she got was from 911.
Police say the boy said he learned how to drive by playing a Play Station game.
Police talked to the family and helped them create a safety plan.
