Police said the suspects ran a red light at S.W. 59th Street and Penn Avenue. A driver in a pickup truck slammed into the passenger's side of the getaway car, and crashed into two other cars. Despite the pileup, the suspects got out of the damaged vehicle and ran.

Three suspects were caught, but a fourth is still on the run.

A Metro Transit bus driver was at the scene. He heard the police sirens and stopped before reaching the intersection. His dashboard camera then recorded the violent collision which pushed the damaged cars several feet, right to the bumper of his bus.

The camera also recorded all four suspects jumping out of the car and running just seconds after the crash.

No one on board the bus was hurt.
