Mother leaves son in moving car after spider scare

After seeing a spider on her shoulder, a woman has jumped out of the car she was driving, leaving her son inside as it crashed into a bus.

A nine year-old-boy suffered minor head injuries in a car crash on Friday when his mother jumped out of the moving vehicle after realising a spider was on her shoulder.

The Indiana mother, Angela K.Kipp, was backing out of the driveway of their family home when she saw a spider on her shoulder, the Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Department told WANE.

After the 35-year-old jumped out of the moving vehicle, her son climbed into the front seat.

In attempt to hit the break, the nine-year-old hit the accelerator and reversed into passing school bus.

The boy was rushed to hospital with minor head injuries, while the bus driver was not injured.

Fortunately there were no children travelling on the school bus at the time.
