A ‘drunk passenger’ left a ‘trail of devastation’ after they stole a bus for a six-mile joy ride before ploughing into a 17-year-old’s Audi.

The ‘drunk’ offender jumped behind the wheel of the bus when the driver briefly stopped to get out and make a phone call on Monday evening.

He then drove the vehicle for a couple of miles before crashing into rows of cars and then into an Audi A3 with the 17-year-old driver inside.

The bus was later found abandoned at a railway station in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire.

A 43-year-old man was later arrested in connection with the drunken escapade. 

Travis O’Dell, 17, from Milton Keynes, was in the driver’s seat of his Audi when the bus hit.

His A3 was written off by the crash which occurred as he was driving to meet some friends at 6.25pm that evening.

The business apprentice said he was lucky to make it out of the crash alive.

He said: ‘I’m lucky to be alive, really. If it had hit my driver’s door I potentially wouldn’t be here anymore.

‘The whole car shook, it was a terrifying experience as it got thrown around.’

Travis was waiting to turn onto a roundabout when the bus hurtled towards him from the right.

The bus rammed into the front of Travis’ silver car at around 40 miles per hour.

The bus then swerved dangerously off Walton Park roundabout and onto a grass verge.

Travis said the bus ‘barely regained’ control as it swerved back onto the dual carriageway and carried on its dangerous escapade without stopping to check on Travis and his totalled car.

He said: ‘Nobody wants to look to their right and see a full-on bus ploughing towards you at high speed, you’re helpless.’

Thankfully he came away with just some backache but has lost the car he bought two weeks ago for £2,300.

He had started saving up for it eight months ago before he passed his driving test in October.

The bus was stolen from a Tesco bus stop on Tongwell Street in Milton Keynes.

Police eventually found the bus parked six miles away from where it was stolen at Milton Keynes Central train station.

A 43-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of aggravated vehicle taking, drunk driving and dangerous driving and taken into custody the same evening.

He has since been released on bail until April 16.

Thames Valley Police Roads Policing team posted on social media later that evening: ‘When people say ‘when you’ve had a drink, take the bus’, it isn’t meant to be taken literally.

‘This bus in Milton Keynes was stolen by a drunken passenger earlier on this evening and left a trail of devastation as it collided with numerous other vehicles before being stopped.

‘Thankfully nobody was injured during this incident and the other passengers managed to flee the bus as it was being stolen. The bus driver was also uninjured in the theft.’
