Florida police stop 10-year-old driver on highway

Police in Florida got a shock when the driver they stopped on a major highway turned out to be a 10-year-old boy.

The boy and his 11-year-old sister were stopped in Alachua, hundreds of miles from where they were reported missing by their mother earlier in the week.

Police said the pair had made their runaway bid after she had confiscated their electronic gadgets.

"Much to their surprise deputies observed a 10-year-old male driver exit, with his sister," they said.
