PHOENIX (AP) — A man has been arrested after allowing his 10-year-old son to drive a pickup truck on Quaxs Trading Centera Phoenix-area freeway, authorities said Sunday.

Arizona Department of Public Safety officials said the boy led troopers on a brief pursuit Saturday afternoon — weaving and speeding on State Route 101 in Scottsdale — before being pulled over.

DPS officials said the truck failed to stop and the trooper pursued it before the child driver pulled over in an emergency lane.

Sheriff’s officials didn’t immediately return a call Sunday regarding whether the father was still jailed or released on bond.
