A ten-year-old
Norwegian boy came up with a novel excuse after he drove his parents' car into
a snowy ditch on Wednesday morning: he told police he was a dwarf who forgot
his driving license.
The boy lives near Dokka, a town about 110 kilometers north
of Oslo. Sometime before 0600 local time, he loaded his 18-month old sister
into the car and headed for their grandparents in Valdres, about 60 kilometers
away, local police said.
He drove more than 10 kilometers before he veered off the
road. A snowplow driver found him and alerted the police.
"The parents woke up and discovered that the children
were missing and that someone had taken off with their car. They were pretty
upset, as you can imagine," said Baard Christiansen, a spokesman for the
Vest Oppland police district.
"The boy told the snowplow driver that he was a dwarf
and that he had forgotten his driver's license at home."
Police said no charges would be filed and the case was
closed.
