3-Year-Old Is Safe After Stunned Onlookers See Him Riding His Big Wheel On The Highway

Drivers on a busy Florida highway were stunned when they spotted a 3-year-old in a diaper riding a motorized big wheel alongside them.

Deputies were called to the scene where they saw several cars surrounding the boy in an attempt to stop him from continuing his route. Thankfully, these drivers acted quickly before any injuries occurred.

"He escaped a disaster, he really did," a witness named Danny Collins told ABC Action News about the boy.

The dangerous situation still concerned Collins, who is a parent himself.

“How did he even get out here? Where did he come from?” he said. “This is horrible… I really started thinking about my daughter and I couldn’t imagine her being out on the highway like, you know, driving her big wheel.”

According to the news report, the young boy managed to leave his house by unlocking the door when his dad was using the bathroom. He traveled a quarter of a mile before being stopped. The boy's dad eventually showed up and the deputies made sure they both returned home safely.

Like the time a boy was wandering about a busy street in Ohio, this unbelievable incident emphasizes how important it is to make sure children don't have easy access to leaving the home.

From this story alone it's clear that anything can happen.
