A 9-year-old child was taken to a hospital after crashing a car into a tree in northeast Philadelphia on Sunday.

The incident occurred at about 9:30 a.m. Sunday morning.

Police say the child was driving his parents` 1999 Chevy Malibu when the car slammed into a tree.

"The car went up in the air first, and then it turned and came down on the wheels and it was awful," Constance Whitfield, a neighbor, said. "I jumped up and went over, I didn`t see anybody...he was slumped over the wheel."

The youth was taken to St. Christopher`s Hospital.

The victim`s condition is unknown at this time.

Police have not released the boy`s identity.
