OMRO, Wis., Oct. 12 A three-year-old Wisconsin boy apparently born to drive jumped the gun this week when he went tooling along a busy highway in his battery-powered toy car.

Jordan Will was pulled over by police in Omro as he and a 2-year-old buddy pulled up to an intersection in Jordan's kid-sized Mustang GT.

"Nothing bad happened, so it's kind of cute now when you look at it, but at the time, it wasn't cute at all. It was scary. I was really upset," Doug Will, his father, told WISN-TV in Milwaukee.

Will said he was asleep when his son and his friend set off on their joy ride. The boys made it about six blocks, apparently obeying all the traffic laws, before neighbors and police were able to halt them.

Jordan's ride is now sidelined. Mr. Will took the battery out.
