If you hate spiders, you’ll totally understand what happened here — up to a point — because no phobia should put other people’s lives at risk.

A 35-year-old woman named Angela Kipp was leaving her house last Friday in Syracuse, Ind.

While she was backing out of her driveway, she saw a spider on her shoulder, freaked out and jumped out of her car. She didn’t take the time to put it in park — and if you’re afraid of spiders, you understand why.

But that was a problem for two reasons. First, her car kept rolling down the driveway. Second, her nine-year-old SON was still in the back seat. I don’t care how afraid of spiders you are, that’s not cool. Because what if the spider then went for him.

It sounds like the kid’s a little better in a crisis situation than his mom is though, because he immediately climbed into the front seat and tried to stop the car.

Unfortunately, he hit the gas instead of the brake, the car sped up, backed into the road and slammed into a school bus that was driving by.

Luckily he only suffered minor injuries, there weren’t any kids on the bus, and the bus driver was okay. But, there’s a picture of Angela’s car, and it looks like it was totaled.
