Pittsburgh girl, 6, crashes car in bid to see dad
PITTSBURGH (AP) - Pittsburgh police say a determined 6-year-old girl didn't hurt anyone when she crashed her mother's car while trying to drive across town to visit her father.
Police haven't released the name of the girl whose mother was reportedly still sleeping when the girl took the woman's car keys about 9 a.m. Sunday.
Police Sgt. Jerry Parker tells reporters the little girl is tall for her age, but adds: "How she knew how to operate a car, your guess is as good as mine."
Police say the girl hit two parked vehicles, pushing one of them into a third, before hitting a utility pole.
Police and the girl's father arrived to take her home after the accident.
Police are still investigating but haven't said if anyone will face charges.

On the side note the kid must really love Dad and missed him. Talk about being determined.
Was she texting?
Last time I saw Marie she's waving me good-bye
With hurry home drops on her cheek that trickled from her eye
Marie is only six years old, information please
Try to put me through to her in Memphis Tennessee
"How she knew how to operate a car, your guess is as good as mine."
I would say that statement is open for debate.
 @Pointblank Kids learn by seeing..Hell I was driving a 1 ton truck at 6...but that was back before all the people had to have there noses in others peoples businesses telling them how to live there lives. I also drove a tractor, motorcycle (Honda 55), go karts, and flew in a chopper.

I say arrest the utility pole.
@Kushfan WHAT??! It is obviously those parked cars that started all the trouble!
 @RatchetRanger Yeah, but you can't do anything to them until they get out of the body shop.
