A three-year-old boy wearing only a nappy crashed a Jeep into a house before running home to watch cartoons like nothing had happened.

The toddler, from Myrtle Creek, Oregon, was said to have climbed into the vehicle on Tuesday evening and managed to move it by knocking it out of gear.

The Jeep, which belonged to his aunt, then rolled down the street before crashing into a neigbour’s house, according to witnesses.

The boy made his escape, with police later confirming they found him on a couch at home watching TV.


An officer had initially spotted the youngster in the driver’s seat following the accident.

The toddler’s mother, Brennan Pennington, 22, was reportedly in the bathroom when the boy left home and when she came back out he had already returned.



Police have since cited her for failing to supervise a child.
