A 10-year-old boy in Indiana stole a family member’s SUV and crashed it into a pond, according to authorities.
Officers were called just before 7:30 a.m. to a motor vehicle theft in the River Park area.
As officers were responding, police received several calls about an SUV driving recklessly, including a report of a hit-and-run, WNDU reported.
Authorities said the boy traveled outside city limits.
Officers also received a report of a mailbox that had been struck.
An officer attempted to pull the SUV over, but the 10-year-old drove over the grass at St. Jude Catholic Church and into a pond on the property.
The 10-year-old exited the SUV on his own and was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
