5-year-old boy en route to pick up Lamborghini pulled over in Utah
Forget Hot Wheels. Troopers say 5-year-old Utah boy hit road for California in search of his own hot rod.

OGDEN — A driver who police suspected was under the influence on a Utah freeway Monday was really just underage — by a long shot.
The 5-year-old boy told a trooper he hit the road in his parents’ car so he could buy a Lamborghini in California. He took the wheel after his mother refused to purchase the luxury ride for him, said Utah Highway Patrol Sgt. Nick Street.
One of Street’s colleagues was preparing to pull over a different driver for speeding about noon Monday when he spotted a car drifting in and out of its lane, braking erratically and switching lanes without a turn signal on southbound I-15, according to Street.

The boy had started his journey at 17th Street and Lincoln Avenue in Ogden, traveling at least 2 miles and ending his journey at the off-ramp at 25th Street, Street told the Deseret News.
