A woman's intense fear of spiders has set off an improbable chain reaction that led to a collision with a school bus and sent her 9-year-old son to the hospital.

Authorities in Syracuse, Indiana, say 35-year-old Angela Kipp had been backing the car out of her driveway with her son in the backseat Friday afternoon when she noticed a spider crawling on her shoulder.

According to the Kosciusko County Sheriff's Office, Ms Kipp’s arachnophobia got the best of her and she jumped out of the car speeding in reverse, leaving her child to fend for himself.

Along came a spider: Angela Kipp had been backing her Dodge Avenger out of her driveway when she saw a spider on her shoulder, panicked and jumped out of the moving vehicle, leaving her son in the backseat

Series of unfortunate events: Kipp's 9-year-old moved into the driver's seat and tried to stop the vehicle but instead hit the gas pedal, slamming into this Wawasee Corporation School Bus

The quick-thinking 9-year-old moved into the driver’s seat and tried to stop the car, but instead of stepping on the brake he hit the gas pedal, sending the out-of-control car careening into a passing school bus.

The boy was discovered by responding officers lying outside his mother's Dodge Avenger in the 5500 block of East co Road 1400 North in Syracuse, reported the station WANE. 

The 9-year-old was transported to IU Health Goshen in stable condition with minor head injuries. No children were on the Wawasee Corporation school bus at the time, and its driver was not injured.

There is no word at this time on whether Ms Kipp would face charges in connection to the wreck.

No further details were available on the spider that sparked the series of unfortunate events in Indiana Friday

Wow! That was some accident! A spider? Mon Dieu! Do they have venomous spiders in Indiana?
I don't particularly find spiders warm and cuddly, but we need them.
I found a huge one in my tub last night. I didn't want to break his little legs, so I trapped him in a plastic cup, slid a piece of paper underneath, and gently set him outside.

I saw this story earlier. The headline struck me as humorous, until I read that her son was in the backseat & saw the photo of the car...

She's lucky she didn't get caught under the open driver's door.

 I saw a TV movie when I was little.

It was about a radioactive spider, coming out of the desert into a town near the site of the early nuclear weapons tests.

 

It grew to about 40 feet tall, 150 feet across.

And, of course, it ate everyone in its' path.

Then it moved on to Phoenix.

She should be ashamed of herself. Why wasn't her SON her first priority?! FFS.

I'm pretty scared of spiders but I don't think I'd jump from a moving vehicle with my child in the back.

If the spider was on her shoulder--what possible difference did it make whether she was inside the car or outside of it?

I mean, if it was on the seat next to her, then it would make a difference because if she exited the car, the spider would still be inside.

As the situation stands, however, she presumably took the spider outside with her when she exited the car.

Look, I understand some people have irrational fears and primal instinct takes over--but she's VERY lucky herself, her son, or someone else didn't get seriously hurt, or worse.

I'm not saying she needs to go to jail, but a willful reckless driving charge might be in order.

Phobia or not phobia.....if that's was her initial instinct....exiting a moving vehicles leaving her child to possible death...she should not be allowed to be responsible for a child. I don't care about her hangup or phobia schmobia. I hope she loses custody of that child. What a nut

 I don't think I'd go that far.  Throwing her child into foster care isn't going to help her, or do the child any good.  It wasn't a deliberate choice on her part, and is likely a one-time isolated event. 

 

yes, it could have ended in tragedy, but it didn't.  I think there should be some consequence, but I strongly feel it should not include that drastic action.

I'm actually going to agree with Husker. I mean, other than getting totally freaked out by insects, she could be a great mom. Perhaps she should be sentenced to therapy to help with her irrational fear.

And by "irrational" - I mean totally understandable except for the "leaving her kid alone in a moving vehicle" part.

The car was wrecked. I think it constitutes reckless driving.
