Jackson admitted that July 9, he boarded a bus at a lot in Northeast Washington wearing a Metrobus uniform, and began driving public streets, picking up and dropping off passengers. The joy ride ended when he lost control of the bus and it crashed into a tree along 17th Street Southeast.
After the crash, Jackson tried to leave the scene and took off his bus operator’s shirt.
