Nothing mystical about six-year-old's hair-raising joyride, say cops


ALOR SETAR: Police reject claims of any mystical element behind the caper of a six-year-old boy who sneaked out in the family car before his mile-long driving adventure ended in an accident along Jalan Bukit Tangga near Langkawi town on Tuesday (May 9).

Langkawi OCPD Asst Comm Shariman Ashari said investigations showed that the child was able to comprehend the mechanics of the oil pedal and gear-changing to drive a car.
