A stolen SUV crashed into one bus in southeast Atlanta on Monday night, then hit a MARTA bus before flipping in a front yard, police said. The driver fled on foot before police arrived on the scene.
The owner of the Acura MDX called police around 7 p.m. to say it had been stolen. Police went to the scene and chased the vehicle, but had given up pursuit when it smashed into a small bus at Forrest Park Road and South River Industrial Boulevard, authorities said. Seven children were on the bus, but there were no injuries, police said.
Less than a mile away, the stolen vehicle hit a MARTA bus. The vehicle flipped and came to rest on the front lawn of a house on Hutchens Road and the driver took off on foot. One passenger on the MARTA bus complained of neck pain.
Both buses had minor damage.
