Officials in Oregon say a small child knocked a vehicle into gear and slammed it into a neighbor's home last week.
According to KPTV, the 3-year-old climbed into a Jeep last Tuesday, knocked it into drive, and sending it traveling "through an intersection, up over a curb, through a yard" before it crashed into a Mrytle Creek, Ore. home. Officers with the Myrtle Creek Police Department reported seeing the boy—who wore nothing but a diaper—rush home where he was found watching cartoons. Luckily, no one was injured.
His aunt, Amy Mayberry, explained the accident to KPTV:

She said the jeep was parked on an incline and when the boy got inside and was playing around, he knocked the manual transmission into neutral, causing the vehicle to coast down the road and into a home.

Brennan Pennington, a 22-year-old relative of the boy, was given a citation for neglecting to supervise him. Meanwhile, his family is working out what KPTV called a "civil compromise" for damage sustained to the home.
