A 13-year-old boy with autism and ADHD was taking to Coventry Fire Station Number 7 by his mother because he was "agitated" and she believed he needed to be evaluated

While at the station, the boy got the idea to get behind the wheel of one of the ambulances. He ran towards the vehicle, locked himself inside, and went speeding down Route 117.

The boy hit an unoccupied police car and a motorcyclist before crashing into some bushes on the side of the road. Thankfully, no one was injured. 

The boy is currently under investigation
