VINELAND, N.J. (AP) - State police say a teenager stole a school bus and led officers on a chase before crashing in New Jersey.

The bus was reported stolen around 11:50 a.m. Sunday in Vineland. Authorities say troopers located the bus and tried to stop it before the 16-year-old hit a parked car and crashed into a guard rail.

Authorities say the teen wasn’t injured, but was hospitalized for an evaluation. They don’t expect to file charges against the teen, who they described as a “special needs juvenile.”



No other injuries were reported in the accident.
