Kids Discover the Danger of Driving to Get Coffee Before Having Coffee

Two brothers, aged eight and six, will likely get a double-double grounding after they crashed their parents' truck in a field next to a Tim Hortons cafe in Jarvis, Ontario, a small town southwest of Hamilton.

The proximity of the incident to the coffee shop is key to the purpose of the kids' adventure: they told the police they took mom and dad's truck to go for breakfast. But the older boy, who was behind the wheel with his younger brother in the passenger seat, lost control of the truck in the restaurant's drive-through, and got it stuck in an adjacent field.

Evidently, these joyriders had yet to learn it's much safer to keep away from built-up areas when doing donuts.

An employee called the police and then checked on the timbits in the truck, who emerged unscathed, as did the truck, according to the Hamilton Spectator.

This wasn't the first car crash of 2017 involving a Tim Hortons: in February, a Windsor carjacker plowed into a coffee shop in that city after trying to evade the cops in a Pontiac Wave.

Ironically, Tim Horton himself, the pro hockey player turned purveyor of pastries and caffeine, died in 1974 when he crashed his Detomaso Pantera in St. Catharines, Ontario.
