Girl, 3, drove car

A girl of three drove her dad’s car half a mile through a busy market after he got out and left the keys in the ignition.

Karolina Gjursel settled behind the wheel of the automatic, turned on the engine and set off – with her cousins aged four and six in the back.

The car eventually plunged into a river. A passer-by hauled the kids unhurt from the vehicle at Beli Lom in Bulgaria. No one else was injured.

Police have quizzed Karolina’s dad Gjunai, 27. A spokesman said: “It was completely irresponsible for a parent to leave children in a car with the keys in.”
