Global News published this video item, entitled “Father speaks out after OPP, Toronto police stop 12-year-old joyriding SUV” – below is their description.

The father of a 12-year-old boy who took his SUV on Toronto-area highways and roads early Tuesday says he is thankful his son is OK after the lengthy joyride, one that ended with police finding the vehicle at the side of the QEW. “This boy has been a good, well-behaved boy. He’s obedient, he’s mild-mannered, he talks respectfully to everybody — anybody who’s met him. You know, it’s just unbelievable.” Ontario Provincial Police and Toronto police said they received several calls from concerned drivers about a vehicle driving erratically between 1:30 and 3 a.m. An OPP spokesperson said the vehicle continued to Highway 427 from Highway 401, adding there were reports of a few “near misses” with other cars. Police found the vehicle at around 3:15 a.m., which stopped by itself on the westbound lanes of the QEW at Hurontario Street.
