The girls, aged 9 and 4, stole the vehicle while their parents were sleeping and drove ten miles from their home in West Jordan towards West City Valley.

Officers were called to the scene around 5 a.m. and bodycam footage recorded their reaction when one of them learned the children were the driver and passenger in the red four-door sedan. There were no reported injuries in the aftermath of the accident.
A spokesperson from the West City Valley Police Department said the girls told police they wanted to take the 700 mile trip to California so they can go for a swim.
