Ann Arbor police say it happened Saturday night when the boy found a key hidden inside the cab of an unlocked forklift at Forsythe Middle School, according to WXYZ TV in Detroit.
This happened after the Ohio State-Michigan football game.
“Crazy experience. I was like, ‘What is going on?’” said Musa Basal, who saw the forklift driving through Ann Arbor.
Dash camera video shows police chasing the forklift.
The slow-speed chase lasted more than an hour and the child hit about 10 parked cars, Ann Arbor Police said.
“I mean, I’m just a little surprised that he was able to operate that and managed to get the keys to that and then start it,” said Basal. “Kind of shocked.”
No injuries were reported.
