A seven-year-old boy was taken to hospital as a precaution after driving his family’s vehicle and colliding with a parked vehicle and a tree.

Edmonton police responded to reports of the collision at about 12:30 p.m. Monday in the area of 115 Street and 148 Avenue.

“The child reportedly took the keys to the family vehicle, and drove the vehicle a short distance down the street, before the collisions occurred,” Edmonton police spokesman Scott Pattison said in a statement.

The overturned vehicle came to a stop at a neighbourhood playground nearby, however, no one was in the playground at the time of the collision.
