KINGSLEY, Mich. (FOX 2) - A man crashed a stolen bus Tuesday morning in northern Michigan.
Police said the 24-year-old man got on the Bay Area Transportation Authority bus that was parked at the Northland Foods store in Kingsley around 7:40 a.m. He grabbed the fire extinguisher on the bus, causing the driver to leave the bus because he was scared he would be hit or sprayed with it.
As the driver was radioing for help, the man fled in the bus but was hit by a car as he was attempting to turn onto M-113.
