Three people are facing felony charges after joyriding in a school bus at a metro Atlanta high school and crashing it into another school bus, Channel 2 Action News reported.
Video of the incident posted on Facebook shows the first bus plow into the second while it is parked outside Banneker High School in College Park. The impact flips the parked bus on its side and topples a light pole.
The video was posted Tuesday and has been viewed nearly 20,000 times as of Wednesday afternoon.
Fulton County district officials told Channel 2 the incident happened between 10 p.m. Sunday and 3 a.m. Monday. The buses were being temporarily stored at the school because of work at the district’s transportation center, the news station reported.
School police arrested a man and two minors hours later, according to Channel 2. While they are not identifying the suspects, police said none are Banneker students and all face felony charges of interference with government property.
Parents were notified that the school was briefly locked down Monday during an investigation, Channel 2 reported.
