Woman tries to escape moving car due to spider; causes crash [View all]

An Indiana woman leapt from a moving car on Friday after noticing a spider on her shoulder, authorities say.

Angela Kipp, 35, was backing her Dodge Avenger out of her driveway in Syracuse when she spotted the arachnid, Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Department told news station 11 Alive. Kipp’s 9-year-old son moved from the back seat and tried to hit the brakes, but mistakenly pushed down the accelerator, sending the vehicle straight into a passing school bus.

The boy, who authorities found lying on the ground outside the vehicle, was taken to a hospital for minor head injuries, according to The Elkhart Truth. The bus driver wasn’t injured, and there were no passengers on the bus.

Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Department was unable to tell The Huffington Post whether Kipp might face charges in the crash.
