This video taken at 3:30 a.m. shows the nine-year-old girl that led police on a chase from Bell Road in Antioch down I-24 to Smyrna. You can see her alert and pointing around and awe of what's going on around her. Police say her grandmother called to report her missing and that her car keys were also missing.
"The girl we found out had actually taken the grandmother's Ford Focus."
The grandmother also told the police that her granddaughter has autism.
"You know it's kind of gut-wrenching, because we want her to stop, and I think if she knows what's right and wrong, we know she would stop."
Six minutes after the call came in, the police spotted the young girl on Bell Road. Police chased and then followed the young girl until she finally stopped in the middle of the Interstate.
"She'd actually stay stopped, the police car had already been put in park miles she was exiting. She put it, she floored the vehicle and she struck the passenger car, the patrol car."
This girl's family says that they had no idea that she even knew how to operate the vehicle, they were taken by complete surprise when all of this happened. She is now back at home safe with her family. And police say she will not be charged with anything.
