A three-year-old Bulgarian girl managed to 'drive' her dad's car half a mile through a busy market.
Karolina Gjursel climbed into the driving seat the automatic when father Gjunai got out at a street market in Beli Lom and left his keys in the car.
She turned on the engine, pressed her foot on the accelerator and drove off with her two young cousins also in the car.
Karolina went half a mile before driving into a river where the children were rescued by passers-by. A police spokesman said: "It was completely irresponsible for a parent to leave children in a car with the keys in the ignition and it is a cause for concern that such a young child appeared to know not only how to start a car but to somehow drive it."
