The minivan then burst into flames, cops said.
"He has to be going like 80, 95 mph," witness Marc Davis said. "I kept saying, 'He's going to hit the bus, he's going to hit the bus... Damn, he hit the back of that bus!' And he spins his whole car around and then he hit another black car that was coming this way."
The minivan driver was taken to St. Barnabas Hospital and is expected to survive.
