Detroit boy, 11, crashes mom's SUV
An 11-year-old Detroit boy who crashed this SUV after stealing his mother's keys somehow walked away with no serious injuries.
/ CBS DetroitThe car, which police say reached speeds of 70 to 90 mph, ended up on its side with the boy wrapped around the utility pole.
Courtney Morrison ran through Rouge Park after hearing the screeching tires, seeing the car flip over three times, and hearing cries for help.
"The little boy said 'Tell my mom I'm sorry. Please tell her I'm sorry,' and 'I hope I'm not in a whole lot of trouble.' I just told him that his mother is going to prefer to see him alive if anything and just be still and don't move," she said.
Crews worked for roughly 40 minutes to get the boy out of the mangled vehicle.
The child, who's all of 4 feet tall and 65 pounds, was hospitalized as a precaution and is expected to be okay.
It's reportedly not the first time the 11-year-old has taken such a 'joyride.'
