A city bus in Saskatoon, Canada, was stolen by a 9 year old boy in pajamas and taken for a ride!
The bus stopped after it hit a truck and then another bus. Fortunately, no one was injured although the bus did gain a cracked windshield and a broken mirror.
The bus was left at the garage with the engine running by a maintenance worker and the young boy climbed in and took off.
The boy won’t face any charges due to his age.
