My sister has been driving my truck.
She called and said she left it at the store with a blown head gasket. Smoke was coming out.
Will it hurt to drive the car to a shop about 5 miles away?
Thanks
Drive with a blown head gasket

Depends on how severe the damage to the gasket is and where it is.
Yes, likely. Seeing as it already has overheated and blown out the coolant, it might seize in the drive or at the least fry the valve seals.
