    "Tustin leapt into his father's lap so he could steer and see out the windshield. Mains' foot had slipped off the accelerator, but even at idle the Chevrolet Avalanche was going an estimated 10-15 mph, police said."

    "The kindergartner steered the truck several blocks, even turning around when he entered a neighborhood he didn't recognize, until he was spotted by police."

    "North Platte officer Roger Freeze ran up to the moving pickup, reached through an open window and rammed the gearshift into park."

    WOW!!! Amazing little boy...Thank God nobody got hurt...

I applaud the skills of this young child...and too know that all children have the same skills and heart.
