A man was arrested Monday night after his 9-year-old daughter drove a car into a house in Conyers, Channel 2 Action News reported.
The girl was not injured, police said.
Conyers police told Channel 2 that the family's car was parked at a vacant house. The girl intended to back the car out of the driveway, but she accidentally put the car in drive and slammed into the home, which suffered structural damage.
Neighbor Frankie Juanita Brown told Channel 2 that the collision sounded "like thunder."
She said the girl's father was in the passenger's seat and was going to let her drive the car back to her mother's house a few doors down.
The father was arrested and charged with reckless conduct, police said.
His name was not released in order to protect the identity of the child, Channel 2 said.
