No Charges To Be Meted Out Against Parents of 5-Year-Old Driving Car

OGDEN, Utah-Friday, Weber County Attorney Chris Allred confirmed the parents of a 5-year-old driving the family’s vehicle onto a ramp leading to Interstate 15 earlier this week will not be charged.

Allred said there was no evidence of negligence as the parents were at work and the boy gave his 16-year-old brother “the slip.”

Utah Highway Patrol trooper Rick Morgan spotted the SUV swerving on southbound I-15 in Ogden only to discover 5-year-old Adrian Zamarripa was the driver.

Adrian told the trooper that, with $3 in his pocket, he was driving to California to buy the Lamborghini his mom refused to purchase for him.

Via an investigation, authorities discovered that Adrian slipped away while his 16-year-old brother, his babysitter, was napping.

Authorities clocked Adrian driving as fast as 32 miles per hour on the freeway before he was stopped, fortuitously, with no injuries having occurred.
