KOSCIUSKO COUNTY, IN -- A spider scared a driver so badly that she jumped out of a moving car without her child.

The woman told police she was backing out of the driveway when a spider landed on her shoulder. The woman jumped from the moving car and ran, leaving behind her 9-year-old child.

The child jumped into the front seat to try to hit the brake, but hit the accelerator instead. The car hit a school bus and the child suffered minor injuries.

There were no children on the bus.
