Default Added coolant in engine instead of oil

I added 1.5 ltrs of engine oil and pure an extra 50/100 ml of coolant, after which i had no option but to drive 2 miles until i reach my house, (with the engine check light on) the car runs perfectly normal, safe to drive 5 more miles to the garage or need to be towed? what could be the worst case damages? its only a little coolant in a lot of oil.

Just to be on the safe side have it towed. Get the oil changed ASAP.
