On a mission to visit their father, two children left with their mother's car in Red House and then crashed into an embankment on Monday morning, police said.
The boys, ages 2 and 5, navigated a silver Ford Focus before the older brother lost control after 3 miles, Putnam County Sheriff Steve Deweese wrote in an email.
A resident on Grandview Ridge Road reported the crash at about 10:20 a.m. Though neither boy suffered serious injuries, both received care at the hospital, Deweese wrote.
The Putnam County Sheriff's Department is working with Child Protective Services to review the incident. No charges were filed as of Tuesday morning.
