The parent of a 10 year old is out of jail and charged with five counts of child endangerment after letting the child drive and try to outrun a train.

It happened Tuesday evening near Chillicothe. 31 year old Erin Graves was arrested after 10 year old Haley Graves was driving a 1995 ford and collided with a train.

The vehicle stopped at the railroad crossing when a train was nearing, according to the Highway Patrol.

The child then accelerated to avoid the train. The train smashed into the left rear of the car and the car spun counter-clockwise.

The 10 year old was wearing her seat belt and there were no injuries.

Her father, Erin Graves of Chula, faces five misdemeanor charges from the Missouri Highway Patrol.

Online court records show he was charged in 2007 with failure to secure a child in a child restraint seat. He was also charged in 2002 for a child under 16 in the passenger seat not wearing a seat-belt.
