A 12-year-old boy behind the wheel of his parent’s pickup truck hit two cars during a brief pursuit in Sacramento County Monday morning, officials said.

The Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office said the boy took his parent’s vehicle at about 7 a.m. and drove to his former school in South Sacramento, running over traffic cones along the way.

Deputies quickly found the boy and tried to stop him, but he led them on a brief pursuit through a neighborhood. The boy hit a parked car and a sheriff’s department vehicle while being chased, according to the sheriff’s office.

The boy was eventually taken into custody and taken to juvenile hall, according to the sheriff’s office.

No one was hurt during the pursuit, the sheriff’s office said.
