MOUNTAIN HOME, Idaho – Police in the southern Idaho town of Mountain Home said a 2-year-old boy left in a running vehicle got out of his car seat and put the vehicle in gear and crashed through the glass doors and full-length window walls of a business.

Police said the vehicle also had an infant inside, but neither child was injured in the crash Friday that smashed the front of Big Smoke on American Legion Boulevard.

Police say the children’s 25-year-old mother left the vehicle running while she went into the shop to pick up some items.

Big Smoke Manager Garry Swatzel said he had just installed new glass doors the day before.
