PANAMA CITY, Fla. - A woman with a history of mental problems rear-ended a school bus twice and fled, then was killed in a head-on collision minutes later, authorities said.

Lori A. Steele, 35, died Monday when her car flipped and she was thrown from the vehicle, Bay County Deputy Tom Ehlers said.

Steele was pulled over earlier Monday after she rear-ended a school bus. No children were on the bus and nobody was injured. She then struck the bus again and drove away at 90 mph, police said.

In the collision a few minutes later, the driver of the other car suffered minor injuries, authorities said.

Steele had been committed three times since August under the Baker Act, which allows police to take custody of people they believe might harm themselves, Gulf County Sheriff's Maj. Joe Nugent said.

Authorities also said Steele's apartment had flooded Monday morning and her apartment manager had called police, but Steele fled before deputies arrived.

Ehlers said that when he pulled Steele over, he had noticed that she had a three turtles in her car, one on her lap. One turtle died in the collision and the other two weren't found, authorities said.

DORAVILLE, Ga. - A naked man hijacked a school bus to flee from police after he crashed his vehicle into the bus, police said.

The man, who had not been identified by police as of Thursday, stole the bus as officers arrived at the accident scene, police said. He made a U-turn and led officers on a slow-speed chase into oncoming traffic, said police Capt. C.D. Atkinson.

Two truck drivers - driving a concrete pumper truck and a tractor trailer - eventually blocked the bus' path, according to a police report.

"They cornered him, pinned him up against the retaining wall," Atkinson said.

The driver was naked when police arrested him. He had suffered a few scrapes and was taken to a hospital for treatment and a mental evaluation.

Atkinson said charges are pending. Police Chief John King said the man spat at emergency medical technicians, which could warrant charges if he has any communicable diseases.

The bus driver had not yet picked up the children to take them to private Atlanta International School.

I knew I shouldn't have let her have my turtles after we ate the most wonderful Reese Peanut Butter Cups minus peanut butter add mushrooms.

Reward. $3 for 2 turtles.
