Police in Iowa said they arrested a woman who allegedly allowed a 12-year-old to drive her and her three children in a van.

Iowa City police said Melissa Garcia, 21, was charged Saturday night with three counts of child endangerment and one count of operating a vehicle with no consent after she allegedly allowed the 12-year-old to drive a van containing Garcia and her children, ages 3, 2 and 1, from Nichols to Iowa City, KCRG-TV, Cedar Rapids, reported Monday.

Garcia, who is 7 months pregnant, told officers she took over driving because the 12-year-old was weaving around the road and nearly drove into a ditch. Police said the van's owner did not give permission for the 12-year-old or Garcia to drive the vehicle. Garcia was ordered held in lieu of $10,000 cash bond.

Or should that be crash bond?

Come on Mum... I've still got a delivery to make.
