He told officers he was on his way to California to try to buy a Lamborghini.

A boy aged just five-years-old was pulled over by police in the US state of Utah yesterday (May 4th), after attempting to drive his parent's car to California to buy a Lamborgni.

CNN reports, the boy left in the SUV after arguing with his mother, who said she would not buy the luxury car for him, Utah Highway Patrol said on Twitter.

An officer saw the vehicle weaving on Interstate 15 at 30 mph, the Utah Highway Patrol said.

One of our Troopers in Weber Co. initiated a traffic stop on what he thought was an impaired driver. Turns out it was this young man, age 5, somehow made his way up onto the freeway in his parents' car. Made it from 17th and Lincoln in Ogden down to the 25th St off-ramp SB I-15. pic.twitter.com/3aF1g22jRB

At first officers believed an impaired driver was behind the wheel.

"How old are you? You're 5 years old?" Trooper Rick Morgan says in dash camera footage of the traffic stop. "Wow ... Where did you learn to drive a car?"
