Stolen taco truck fleeing California police hits school bus

SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. (AP) — Southern California authorities say two men fleeing from police in a stolen taco truck sideswiped a school bus full of children, took down the lights at an intersection and smashed into a propane truck.

No one was seriously hurt in the chase Monday. San Bernardino police Lt. Rich Lawhead says the men fled after officers spotted them in the stolen truck on a highway.

After the crash, witnesses tell the San Bernardino Sun (http://bit.ly/1QoegKK ) that officers fired two shots at the men.

Driver Jeremy Morales says the scene was so crazy that he pulled into a nearby service station to get out of the way.

Still an inconspicuous Taco truck, side-swipe a school bus and then smash into a propane truck. The topping on the ice-cream sundae would have been if the propane truck exploded (with no one hurt , of course).

I would charge them with one count of attempted murder for every child on the bus & its driver, and the propane driver. That should make sure the only Taco these guys will be eating will be from behind bars for about a 100 years.
