A Boy Steals a Bus – level 1

19-10-2020 15:00

Something crazy happens in Louisiana, US. A boy steals a school bus. The boy is eleven years old. He gets on the bus. Nobody knows how he does this.

The boy starts the bus. He does not need a key. He must only press a button. The boy is small. He cannot reach the pedals on the floor. He must stand during driving.

Police try to stop the bus. However, the boy continues to drive. He does not stop.

Four police cars follow the bus. The ride lasts 45 minutes. The boy drives the bus for a long 13 miles. Then he crashes into a tree.

Police arrest the boy. Luckily, nobody is hurt.

Difficult words: press (to push something with a finger), pedal (the two parts that a driver pushes with his feet to control a vehicle), continue (to not stop).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
