A man accused of stealing a school bus and then crashing it into Coachella Valley High School while under the influence caused $150,000 in damage reports KESQ – and by the looks of the video, that estimate might even be low. Students have enough to worry about this time of year, so maybe everyone can just leave the school bus driving to the professionals from now on?

As for the bus, well, it looks like it will be out of commission for a while:

A spokeswoman for the school district told The Desert Sun the incident should not affect classes when the school year starts Wednesday.

There has been no indication for motive at this point nor any idea as to how the suspect planned to get away with stealing a gigantic yellow school bus.
