Jacob, from Kentucky, US, added: “It was a project day at home on a Saturday and I was loading up a bunch of junk in my truck to take to Goodwill.
“I went back inside to eat after I loaded it all up, then realised Goodwill was about to close.
“So I jumped in my truck and pulled out of the neighbourhood to try to beat the clock.
“He climbed up and fell asleep in the sun.
“So glad I finally looked back before I jumped on the highway.”
Tyler’s stint at viral fame isn’t a first for the toddler.
He became hugely popular last year after hitting golf balls perfectly – and was featured on ESPN for his skill.
