but i saw an undercover car chasing it. i thought it was somebody trying to get away from the cops. you know like what ever they did trying to run away. but on the bike path, that was strange. then the bus came from the other side and the school bus? yes, and he hits and started going up if the air and coming straight at me. so, i started running back to where i came from. the vehicle started vehicle starting coming up like that. and, so i started running this way. there were kids all around me because school was letting out. so i started running pushing them this way, get out get out. they started moving back. and then the truck landed really hard. i turned around to look at the truck and i thought i should take a picture, document the wreck in case anybody needs it. then i saw the driver, i assume it was the driver standing next to the truck with his arms down.
