Very rare to see the exact incident that caused the trust issues.

Hopefully the mother gets some help for her intense fear of spiders before she kills someone.

A Syracuse boy is recovering from a head injury he received in a collision with a school bus after police said his mother jumped out of a moving car after discovering a spider on her shoulder.

The crash happened around 4:20 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 18, in the area of 5570 E. C.R. 1400 N. in Syracuse, according to 95.3 MNC's reporting partners at The Elkhart Truth.

Officers arrived to find the 9-year-old boy lying beside the vehicle that collided with the Wawasee Community School Corporation bus, according to The Elkhart Truth.

The boy was taken to IU Health Goshen in stable condition with minor head injuries. There were no children riding in the school bus, and its driver was not injured in the crash.

The investigation shows that the boy’s mother had been backing the car out of her driveway when she discovered the spider and jumped out while the car was in reverse. The boy then climbed from the backseat to the front driver’s seat to push on the brake. Instead, the boy “depressed the throttle” of the car which then backed into the passing school bus, police said.
The crash is still under investigation.

Can you imagine what was running through the spider's head during this? "WTH is this goofy chick doing?"

Freakin dingbat.

Boy, her parental authority is totally screwed. Imagine when he's sixteen. . .

"I'm going out, ma. I'll be back by midnight."

"You'll be back by nine, young man!"

"What do you care? If you gave a damn about me, you wouldn't have crashed me into a school bus because you were scared of a spider."

I'll bet a real refugee, from Syria maybe, could toughen them up so spiders aren't seen as being 'evil by nature' reactions don't happen and if you need rain the required sacrifice could be made for the sake of the community.

When roasted over an open fire the legs and head are missing when it is crunch time, Yes?

With you everything is about drugs isn't it, Mr Man?

Reefer madness. Nah. I'm thinking just dumb as a stump.
A stump can make most people 'go around' to avoid a collision. Neither of you two are 'the cream of the crop' from your family are you?

Lucky for him the $8M settlement has a clause in that forbids blabbing how 'Mom' was actually a 'supposedly qualified hired employee of Bus Company 'A'. Try thinking like a Lawyer who still has a job.

After so many take up the same chant it morphs into something you are trying to prevent. It's an original suspect rule around here.

So the Mother jumped out of a car that was moving in reverse?

Geez, good thing the open door didn't hit her and drag her along, especially when the 9 year old floored it.

As the article says, 'The crash is still under investigation' and I think they'll find out there was another reason for this accident....
