Yes, a spider. And it scared Angela Kipp so much that the 35-year-old jumped out of her moving vehicle on Friday, according to the Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Department. Instead, he accidentally hit the gas pedal and sent the Dodge accelerating backwards into a school bus. Her son, who was still in the auto , climbed into the driver’s seat in an attempt to brake the vehicle , but hit the accelerator while it was in reverse, thereby colliding with a local school bus.
The child was taken to Indiana University hospital to be treated for minor head injuries.

“I saw something scurry across the steering wheel, and realized it was a huge spider”, she wrote in an email. Called arachnophobia, the fear of spiders is a specific phobia. It was not clear whether Kipp suffered any injuries. The bus driver was unharmed, and there were no children aboard at the time of the accident. Left behind was the woman’s nine-year-old child.
