8-year-old Pa. boy crashes grandma's car

SCHUYLKILL HAVEN, Pa. (AP) — Police say an 8-year-old northeastern Pennsylvania boy drove his grandmother’s car down an embankment and into a creek, but escaped injury.

Police say the boy crawled out a window to safety and was not hurt in Tuesday night’s crash near Schuylkill Haven.

State police said the Schuylkill Haven boy took the keys to the 1995 Chevrolet Cavalier from his grandmother’s coat and drove away about 6 p.m. He lost control of the car near Blue Mountain High School about 10 minutes later.

Police said Wednesday that the boy was released to the custody of his parents. He will not be cited.
