LOUISA COUNTY, Va. -- A 10-year-old boy avoided serious injury when he crashed the car he was driving on Interstate 64, according to Virginia State Police.
Police were alerted to the child driver, and his seven-year-old passenger, Tuesday at about 8:35 a.m. on I-64 east in Fluvanna County.
"The 10-year-old [driver] was traveling on eastbound I-64 around the 148 mile marker and was all over the roadway," a Virginia State Police spokesperson said.
