Couple flee bungled Greyhound bus hijacking

A man tried to overpower a Greyhound bus driver in Utah late last night, but gave up the supposed hijacking attempt and fled in a different vehicle, the state Highway Patrol said.

The man apparently tried to overtake the driver after ranting about hijackings, said Doug McCleve, patrol spokesman. Bus driver Gene Savage said that the man grabbed the steering wheel and said he was going to flip the bus.
