The accident occurred around 7:45 a.m. on Wednesday morning, Fox 6 reported, and it involved another vehicle and an electrical box.
According to reports, the young girl woke up on Wednesday morning and decided that she wanted McDonald’s. Her mother was still asleep, so she allegedly took her mother’s Chevy Tahoe herself. Unfortunately, she wasn’t as skilled at driving as she thought.

A couple of weeks ago, an Indiana police officer made headlines when he apologized to a McDonald’s after accusing someone at the restaurant of biting his food before bringing it to him. Apparently, the officer had taken the bite himself before re-wrapping the sandwich to save it for later — and forgot that he had done so.
