Man in custody after allegedly going on crash spree in stolen school bus

A Redwood City man is suspected of stealing a school bus and crashing into seven cars during an erratic driving spree Saturday morning, police said.

Santos Miguel Murillocuellas, 23, allegedly broke into a school bus storage yard at 1090 Mills Way in Redwood City and shortly thereafter, about 9:45 a.m., began ramming cars on Woodside Road between Spring Street and Massachusetts Avenue, according to a release from Redwood City police.

The collisions involved parked cars and other fixed objects, such as a median fence and signal light pole, and no injuries were reported, police said.

The bus eventually came to rest on top of a PG&E transformer at the Woodside Plaza shopping center parking lot, police said.

Murillocuellas was booked into San Mateo County Jail on suspicion of vehicle theft, burglary, reckless driving, hit and run, and vandalism.

Anyone with information on the incident is asked to contact Traffic Sgt. Steve Fine at (650) 780-7187.
