PHILADELPHIA—Police say an 8-year-old boy got behind the wheel of a vehicle and crashed into four parked vehicles in west Philadelphia.

A police spokeswoman says the incident happened shortly after 12:30 p.m. Sunday on South 62nd street.

Police said rescue responded to the scene to check out the child after the accident.

Witnesses told WPVI-TV that the boy took a van after a man unloading furniture left the keys inside.

The station says no one was injured, but several of the cars—some of which belonged to people attending church—were badly damaged.
