At about three o'clock in the morning in the city of West Jordan, Utah, an unusual traffic accident occurred, when a Chevrolet Malibu sedan crashed into a Volvo truck. The police patrol crew arrived at the place of an accident because of the call made by the truck driver. There they were surprised to find a nine-year-old girl at the wheel of a car, and her four-year-old sister in the next seat.
Fortunately, None Of Them Were Hurt
Their trip ended at about five in the morning. Fortunately, none of them were injured in the accident. The girls were wearing their seatbelts, although the cars received significant damage. In addition, the airbag inflated on the collision.
Before the collision with the truck, the sisters managed to hit another car. The driver of the first hit car was the one to call the police. As it turned out, the children secretly took the keys to the Chevrolet Malibu from their parents and, after waiting for them to fall asleep, and set off on their adventure.
A sedan driven by an older sister made a head-on collision with a truck on the highway exit. Moreover, the girls were not just going to simply drive around the city at night. They had a clear plan, according to which they had to get to the Pacific Ocean in the state of California. According to the girls, they just wanted to swim in the ocean and later play with some dolphins.
They Planned To Drive 775 Miles
At the same time, the children did not pay attention to the fact that the distance from West Jordan to the California coast is about 775 miles. As a result, their night ride lasted only 10 miles. Morning rush hour made it difficult to cover the longer distance. However, the older sister was moving at high speed, dashingly turning at intersections.
Both cars had to be taken away from the accident site in a tow truck. The sisters' parents, who had been sleeping peacefully all this time, later admitted to the police that they had recently discussed a trip to California with each other. The police noted: the sisters were incredibly lucky, their escape could end tragically.
