A 4-year-old boy hitched a 50 mph ride on a car roof, giggling down the freeway dressed only in his diaper as other drivers honked and flashed, trying to get his mother to pull over.
The woman has now been charged with dangerous driving. The family says that her autistic son must have climbed out the window and into the roof basket before she set off through the suburbs of Perth, Australia, during what they called a “freakish event.”
