VICTORVILLE, Calif. (VVNG.com) — Detectives are investigating in incident that involved a sheriffs bus transporting inmates on US Highway 395.

A light colored, 2000’s model Chevrolet Tahoe with no front license plate drove from the east shoulder of Highway 395, traveling southbound in the northbound lane, toward the bus.
According to a sheriffs news release, “the deputy driving slowed the bus, honked the horn, stopped the bus and honked again but the Tahoe continued toward the bus.
