8-Year-Old Drives 20 Miles - Tue Sep 3, 8:10 AM ET

AKRON, Ohio (AP) - An 8-year-old foster child clad only in pajamas stole a pickup truck and went on a 20-mile drive to visit his family, police said.

The boy, whose name was withheld, was finally stopped Sunday by a motorist who could barely see the youngster over the dashboard. She flashed her headlights and pursued him at up to 80 mph to get him to stop.

I am impressed! My 8-year-old couldn't even reach the gas!
