Stolen Truck Plows Into MTA Bus In Manhattan, Kills Driver

William Pena, who has been operating city buses since 1996, was pronounced dead at the chaotic early morning scene, transit sources said. The driver of the stolen 18 Rabbits Granola truck, who suffered minor neck injuries, was apprehended by cops at the scene of the crash, police said.
More street carnage this morning.  Pedestrians injured as well.  Of course the driver of the stolen truck appears to be fine.

I'll leave aside for now the question of the wisdom of high-speed chases in dense urban environments.  But I'd like to know more about the events that led up to the crash.
