(WHITEHALL, N.Y.) — Authorities say an 8-year-old child is hospitalized with serious injuries after a car crashed as the child steered the vehicle while sitting on a New York man’s lap. State police say 36-year-old Brett Reynolds, of Whitehall, took his mother’s car late Tuesday and allowed the child to steer while Reynolds worked the pedals. Troopers say the child suffered a fractured arm and rib, a punctured lung and head injuries when the car hit an embankment and then a tree. Police say Reynolds left the child crying outside of a home before fleeing the scene.
