An Indiana woman leaped from her moving car last Friday when she spotted a spider crawling on her shoulder. According to the The Associated Press reports, this ultimately resulted in a car wreck.
According to the Kosciusko County Sheriff's Department, Angela Kipp, 35, of Syracuse was driving her car with her 9-year-old son in the back seat. As she was backing out of her driveway, she saw a spider and panicked. The mother then jumped from the car as it was in reverse.
According to authorities, her son reportedly moved into the front seat and tried to stop the vehicle, but he accidentally hit the gas pedal - sending the Dodge Avenger into a passing Wawasee Corporation School bus.
The boy was found lying outside the Dodge Avenger when police arrived. He was transported to Goshen General Hospital in stable condition with minor head injuries. No children were on the bus, and its driver, Becky Dunithan, 62, of Syracuse, wasn’t injured, police said.
