CANDIDATE FOR WORST WOMAN DRIVER OF THE YEAR

Spooked by a spider, Angela Kipp of Syracuse, Indiana leaped from her moving Dodge Avenger, leaving her 9-year old son in the back seat

On Friday afternoon, Angela Kipp, 35, was backing out of her Syracuse, Indiana driveway when she spotted a spider on her shoulder. The itsy bitsy spider so spooked her that she bailed out of the moving Dodge Avenger. Besides leaving a moving vehicle, there was another slight problem. Her 9-year-old son was in the back seat.

God bless Angela’s 9-year-old boy. The kid climbed over the back of the front seat in an attempt to apply the brake. Apparently, the boy had not yet taken a driver education course, because he hit the gas pedal instead of the brake pedal. By putting the pedal to the metal, he crashed into a school bus that happened to be driving by. Fortunately, there were no students aboard the bus. The Avenger was totaled.

When deputies from the Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Department arrived at the scene, they found the boy lying beside the wreckage of his mother’s car. He was transported to a hospital with minor head injuries.

Now tell me that Angela is not a candidate for Worst Woman Driver of the Year.
