A nine-year-old driving a neighbour's vehicle was in a collision in Mississauga Sunday evening, Peel police say.

The incident happened near McLaughlin Road and Eglinton Avenue at around 6 p.m.

The child asked a neighbour if they could drive the vehicle, police said.

The neighbour let the child reverse, but when the child put it in drive and tried to pull forward they lost control and hit another vehicle in a nearby driveway.

Nobody was hurt in the incident.

"Obviously it's never a good idea to let the child operate a vehicle," said Const. Iryna Yashnyk, spokesperson for Peel Regional Police.

"These types of things happen when you let a nine-year-old driver behind the wheel."

Police are investigating. No charges have been laid at this point.
