Authorities said an 8-year-old Pontiac boy took a stolen car on a joy ride and caused a three-vehicle crash. Pontiac police said the boy sneaked out of his house Wednesday night and found an empty and running car in his neighborhood.

The Oakland Press and Detroit Free Press reported the boy drove the car in reverse for about a block and hit the front-end of another vehicle. That vehicle was struck by a third car.

There were no injuries, but officers say he was crying when officers arrived.
