DAYTONA BEACH, Fla -- Eleven people were hurt early this morning when a stolen van crashed into a Votran bus in Daytona Beach, cops said.
A child on the bus was among the injured in the collision in the area of Orange Avenue and Lincoln Street.
The chaos began at 7:54 a.m. when the van ran a stop sign and crashed into the eastbound bus on Orange Avenue, Daytona Beach police Sgt. Kelsey Harris told Headline Surfer. The van ended up in a field while the bus hopped the sidewalk and then rolled to a stop along Orange Avenue.
Alexander “Woody” Ross, 48, the passenger in the stolen van, was hit by the bus when he tried to bail from the stolen van just before the crash, Harris said. And the van's driver, Robert D. Carbonell, 57, also ran from the crash scene but a neighborhood man tackled him and held him down until cops arrived and hauled him off to jail, the Daytona cop added.
