4-Year Old Drives SUV..Hits Bus

)Lexington)  When a 4-year-old girl starts school next year, she'll already have some experience with bus transportation.
Police say the Lexington girl took the keys of her mother's Chevrolet Suburban while the woman slept, then used a pink plastic step stool to climb into the SUV. Police Lt. Chris Van Brackel told the Lexington Herald-Leader the girl backed it out of the driveway and into a loaded school bus, but no one was injured. After that, she drove forward into her yard and jumped out of it, receiving only a scratch on her ankle as an injury.  Brackel said the SUV then rolled down a hill and hit a parked church van. The bus received minimal damage.
