My Daughter's truck accident, yes my 3 year olds

Well my 3 year old daughter got into my truck on Friday as we were getting ready to leave and put the truck into gear and rolled down our driveway, across the street, and smashing into my neighbor’s house. Luckily she is alright and no one else got hurt.

If there is a positive in all this, the best place that she could have hit is where she did, right in-between their 2 garage doors. If she went through the one of the garage doors she could have damaged his truck and worse she could have been hurt. And the other garage door who knows where she would have ended up.

So here are some pictures of the aftermath:

James, it's never too early to go on drivers defensive course!
Somebody was watching over her. Glad things weren't as bad as they could have been...

Yep, there was definitely someone looking out for her that day. We have always said, "If she was the first (child), she would have been the last"

Nice to hear that your daughter is all right after that crash! could have been worse if a car would have passed by in the wrong moment...

but if you try to find something positive, she is all ready interested in demolition buisness

@ Sparffo

Thanks guys. That night I couldn't sleep because of all the things that went on in my head of what could have happened.

Also, gotta to love Amica Insurance, I received a check already for the repairs to the truck.

I have to say that it definately looks like she's going to follow in the old man's footsteps. You probably want to start locking up all hammers, crowbars, and pliers. You never know when she'll want to start examining how stuff comes apart.....like the blender, the toaster, the dryer, the truck...

speaking from experience, we girls can be curious if we've got the demo bug!

Trust me, I have locked up all my tools and misplaced a lot of them also.

If she wants to follow me into the business, that is find and dandy with me.
