Adolescent navigating Blumberg streets during the nighttime hours
In an unusual turn of events, a 13-year-old boy from Blumberg, Germany, found himself at the centre of a police investigation after driving his parents' car recklessly through the town at 4 am on Thursday.
The car, previously registered to the boy's parents, was seen speeding and honking, with witnesses suspecting the driver was under the influence of alcohol. However, it was later revealed that the driver was, in fact, a 13-year-old boy.
The boy admitted to taking his parents' car for a late-night drive, crashing it into a guardrail during his drive. Fortunately, no one was injured in the incident, according to police. The car had visible damage, but the extent of it is not yet clear.
The boy managed to bring the damaged car back home after the accident.
The parents of the boy are currently under investigation for negligently allowing their son to drive without a license. The authorities are also looking into the matter with the youth welfare office and the driver's license authority.
Despite the ongoing investigation, for now, there are no concrete consequences for the boy. The names or identities of the parents have not been disclosed in the available sources.
This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of parental responsibility and the dangers of underage driving. The authorities urge parents to ensure their children are aware of the laws and the risks associated with driving.
