Police are saying it’s amazing that bus driver Odis Pitts walked away from a major crash without any serious injuries.
Pitts left a trail of destruction behind him on Monday as he drove his empty school bus down an Oklahoma City street, crashing into several cars and even flipping a pickup truck in the process.
Police believe Pitts was high on synthetic marijuana otherwise known as Spice or K2. A pipe, lighter and the drugs were found in Pitts’ pocket.
Security footage from inside the bus shows Pitts moaning and slumped over the wheel as the bus crashes through the streets.
After Pitts drives up an embankment and crashes into a railway bridge, bystanders can be heard rushing to his aid and asking him if he is alright, only to find him unresponsive.
According to police, several people suffered injuries due to Pitts’ wayward driving. One may have had their hand amputated while another person suffered a broken pelvis.
The school district has fired Pitts, but CBS affiliate News 9 discovered that he had been terminated three years ago but rehired in 2013.
Pitts’ charges include causing a serious accident while intoxicated and leaving the scene of an accident.
