Girl, 6, Crashes Car While Trying To Drive To See Her Father

Why is it so difficult to imagine that a six-year-old would know how to operate a car? I knew how to drive one from the time I can remember – a key turns it on, one pedal to make it go, on pedal to make it stop and a wheel to steer it. Any six-year-old who's been observing mom and/or dad all her life would have to be functionally retarded NOT to understand.

Right! and now a days every kid has played one of those driving games at the arcade….

spell check..now if a two year old drove then I would be surprised glad she was not hurt however punishment is warranted.

Sometimes news story's make me laugh, glad no one was hurt.

I knew all of that for years but it wasn't until later in my teen years, before I had my license, that I knew you had to hold onto the brakes to get out of park.

If it was an old school stick shift, yeah I'd be impressed.

spell check your news items people!

My great grandson started working on demolition derby cars almost before he could walk. He is now 10 years old and I would bet that he could tear down an engine and put it back together. When he was about 4, he backed his dads' truck out of the driveway and across the street. These kids are smarter than lots of people give them credit for, let me tell you.

Was she drinking?

"The girl didn’t make it car, crashing the car into two parked cars" CAR.

"The girl didn’t make it car, crashing the car into two parked cars, forcing one of those cars to hit a third, before hitting a utility pole and crashing to a stop." Consider Revising.

I guess they meant "she didn't drive 'far'"…And I think most 6 year olds can figure out how to drive one!

Apparently she didn't know how to operate a car or she wouldn't have crashed she would have driven to her Dad's house.

This would have never happened had we BANNED CARS LIKE I SAID SO. Cars kill over 35,000 people every year! BAN ALL CARS IN THE USA, WE NEED A SAFER COUNTRY! BAN ALL CARS!

We need to ban 6 year olds.

Um, does this reporter not know how to use spell check?

Spell check wouldn't find the mistake since it is spelled correctly.

Partking lot is spelled correctly? HMMMM!

Apparently, steering requires more practice the other aspects of driving.

It's obvious that this article was also written by a 6 year old. Reading it was even worse than experiencing a car crash!

As Bill Maher said, a whole hot tub of people could be killed if somebody dropped in a toaster, but, hey, toasters have other purposes than killing, and so do cars.

Who in the hell wrote this article? I found at least two mistakes. Use your spell check.

Who in the hell wrote this article? I found at least two mistake. Parking is not spelled with a t in it and The girl didn’t make it car, doesn't make sense.

that girl needs a good spanking.

uh oh, you said *retarded*….you're going to get in serious trouble (hehehe)….

2 mistakes

spell check because you get angery so easy?? spell check or else what?

It was the cars fault. We should outlaw cars.

when their feet can't reach the brakes… it's trouble

The editor of this article should be fired for all the grammar errors he or she missed, and the reporting author should be fired for stereotyping all of southwestern PA adolesents as wanna-be car crashers, "It appears to be something about southwestern Pennsylvania that makes adolescents want to crash a car." There was only one other incident like this one two years ago. Who hires these idiots?

Must be the editior's day off. This was terribly written. How far did she make it?

This story brings back childhood memories. Many years ago (1970's) my Dad left me in the car in the hospital parking lot. He was running in to give my Mom something…I got behind the wheel and was "playing", next thing I knew the car was rolling backwards and suddenly stopped. Recall the older cars when you didn't need a key to shift?

Must have been the editor's day off. This was terribly written. How far did she make it? Couldn't have been too far. Seeing over the dash board and hitting the pedals at the same time would have been difficult.

When I was 3 years I would drive my mothers station wagon to the bar to pick up my father every Friday night. Mom could not get him because she had to many DUI'S. So she did not drive at night.

"The girl didn’t make it car" PLEASE HIRE SOME EDITORS!

That is Pure BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First of all WHY is a woman sleeping when she has a 6 yr old in her care who is wide awake? Secondly, why were the keys in the CHILD'S reach? This child should be taken away from this woman. Period!

You bastards. "The girl didn't make it" made me think she died.

It sounds good to me however I think they outlawed spanking.

my son at age 7 learned the 5-speed. it's possible.

She needs a azz wopon if i would have pulled some stuff like that i wouldnt have been able to sit down for a week

'adolescent'? a 6 year old? um – no.

Yahoo…known for their gramatical excellence!!…I'm thinking they meant far?? Agreed?

My bad this isn't even Yahoo…lmao!!

yeah I don't think anyone proof reads anymore

Eascc Campo–angery? not sure if that was intentional or not…

Un oh….children and cars…..that's it we should ban all cars because kids might take them and use them for bad…..just like guns….cars can kill too…..anyone getting my drift here. Oh lord for god sakes spank the little kid and teach her no.

the amazing part is no one is responsible for the damage this child caused, thankfully the child is safe, but where is mom? if the same child hit the street walking to her dad, mom would have been charged with neglect. so does this mean small children should just steal cars, what's next, pack a gun and kill daddy?

really? "use spell check"? spell check finds words spelled incorrectly. it doesn't find grammatical errors or spot when the wrong word is used. spell check didn't see anything wrong with "The girl didn’t make it car" because every one of those words is spelled right. not even a grammar checker would have caught it. the only thing that would is a proofreader. and proofreading is obviously a lot art anymore.

but yes, spell check would have caught "partking".

Apparently, spelling, grammar and punctuation are not important anymore.

Just be great full that she was not injured or killed.

Just be great full she was not injured or killed.

All I can add is, bless her little heart…glad no one was hurt other than the vehicles. I will bet her dad was surprised!

five and six year old children are not, as the article stated, "adolescents." how dumb do you have to be to not know that? this article seems to be written by a not too bright orangutan.

Lora Roy You are so right!

Spell check won't help bad writing and this is BAD!!!

I believe you owe Yahoo an apology? lol

How about "partking" and the 5 year old "adolescent".

Sometimes you gotta drive before you can walk….

Sometimes you gotta drive before you can walk….

What's ironic is that the girl did a better job driving than the author did writing this story.
At least the damage from HER accident can be repaired, and she can be taught someday to drive correctly and safely. Same can't be said for the writer. Maybe he needs to be given a WUI test for Writing Under the Influence.

Glad I'm not the only one too distracted by the glaring spelling and vocabulary errors to have really focused on the content of this story? She "didn't make it car?" "Partking lot?" 5 & 6 year olds are adolescents? This must be one of those outsourced-written stories. Also, 6 year olds probably shouldn't drive.

"It appears to be something about southwestern Pennsylvania that makes adolescents want to crash a car."
A five year old and a six year old are not adolescents. Huh?

She needs her a** whipped.

Gee, kids are not dumb, they watch their parents. It is not rocket science.

It was thinly veiled satire. (gun bans)

I was 3 when my dad would sit me on his lap and taught me how to steer and things associated with driving.

It shouldn't be hard to figure out how she operated the car. People don't realize how smart kids are and how much they watch/listen to us. Once, my two year old brother found my mom's keys and opened the car, got into the driver's seat and while STANDING UP, pulled the E-brake release, put the keys in, started the car, put it in reverse and backed out the the driveway. Thankfully no cars were coming but he got to the other side of the street! And he never once touched any of the pedals. All of the sudden, I see out the window and yelled, "Mom! Paul's driving the car!" I was 6. When we asked him how he knew to do that, he said,'i watched Mommy do it." 2 years old people. Don't underestimate your kids. When they want something, they'll do anything to get it. Only in this case, instead of throwing a fit, she drove a car.

Maybe another 6 year old wrote the story?

proofreading would have caught "lot art" lol (I make those sort of mistakes frequently, I am laughing with you, not AT you)

a 6 year old drove a car?

o.O

My brother crashed a car at 18 months old. He was standing in the driver's seat playing with the steering wheel when he grabbed the shifter and it went into reverse. It rolled down a slight incline into a ditch across the road knocking the open passenger door off as it clipped my aunt's parked car.

I hope Dad took notes on just how much his little girl LOVES him and always does right by her. Something like this brings tears to my eyes,,, being I have a daughter and if my daughter did that just to see me id give her every second of time I had available. Shes a special little girl

adolescents, ha

Um…didn't you read the article?? lol

That was the first snafu… I am wondering, who the bleep wrote this? My guess was he meant that the girl didn't get far… but hey, far, car… the obvious lack of proofreading but did manage to grammar-proof it. So here are a couple of my fav parts.

<<How she knew how to operate a car, your guess is as good as mine,” said police Sgt. >>> This whole sentence just feels wrong. Would someone actually speak like that?? Hmmm, I don't know.

OK Bloopers 2 and 3

<<Back in 2011, a 5-year-old crashed a car in a busy partking lot,>> a partking lot. Damn this one didn't make it through my spell check. Maybe the author was color blind… or perhaps, just failed to read it?

Blooper 3, ok you can't really call it a blooper but a botch, on the last paragraph, he took quite the stretch to connect these two things together… the final paragraphs where he writer, hey, it's all good.

<< something about southwestern Pennsylvania that makes adolescents want to crash a car>>

Yea, it must be the water, Or aliens? But truth be told, it wounds suspect to me… LOL… kidding. This was a hard article to read and an even tougher article to swallow… without gagging between my laughter and my tears! I guess I should be thanking you for the comic relief!

Since when were 5 & 6 year olds adolescents? I know kids are supposed to be developing earlier and earlier, but that's just too much for me! Am I THAT behind the times?

waking my way downtown, driving fast, crashing cars and I'm way ground.

I was going to correct your grammar, but you made too many mistakes. Maybe you shouldn't be such a bitch and judge other since obviously, your incapable of correcting your own grammar.

Future woman driver.

I'm guessing she was slugging back some CapriSun!!

At least she got to see her Dad!

well I think the police were amazed because most people in Pittsburgh must be functionally retarded,then this girl Steelers a car…

big deal it's a typo get over it

Did you also catch in the paragraph down…"a 5-year-old crashed a car in a busy partking lot" Since when do you spell it partking?

Stacey Lynn Word does. It helps with sentence structure.
