PENN TWP., Pa. (WPVI) -- A driving lesson went horribly wrong for a mother and her daughter in Berks County.

It happened off Route 183 in Penn Township Wednesday afternoon.

Police say the driver, who doesn't have a license, was practicing her driving when she accidentally stepped on the gas instead of the brake and went down the embankment.
