Monster Jam (and some other game) credited for premature driving incident

Monster_Jam.jpgAccording to an Associated Press story, a six-year-old Virginia kid who missed the bus decided to just drive his parent's car to school. He made it nearly five miles before banging into a utility pole and deciding to walk the rest of the way. The sheriff who arrested the parents for child endangerment credits God's ubiquity for the kid's mostly successful driving spree.

"This really is a story of miracles," [Northumberland County Sheriff Chuck] Wilkins said. "The Lord was with him, along with everybody else on the highway."
The kid himself has a different take on the situation:
The boy told police he learned to drive playing Grand Theft Auto and Monster Truck Jam [sic] video games.
Monster Jam (the part about the truck is assumed) I can believe. But if he really learned from Grand Theft Auto, he would have killed a few hookers en route.

Thanks Reed!
