Tragic School Bus Crash in Texas Claims Lives of a Child and an Adult

A concrete truck collided head-on with a school bus carrying pre-K students from a field trip, resulting in two fatalities and over 50 injuries.

A school bus carrying 44 pre-K students and 11 adults from Tom Green Elementary was struck by a concrete truck in Bastrop County, Texas, killing a child and an adult.
The collision caused the bus to roll over, leading to 51 injuries, with four in critical condition and six in potentially serious condition.
The bus, which lacked seatbelts as it was a 2011 model, was returning from a field trip to the Bastrop Zoo when the incident occurred.
Governor Greg Abbott and other officials have offered support to the affected families and the Hays Consolidated Independent School District.
The crash prompted a significant emergency response, including the evaluation of 53 patients and the transportation of many to hospitals or a reunification center.
