I was greeted with this news this morning, 2 Houston area students are dead after an HISD bus went off the freeway and fell 15 feet. Many years ago I used to ride my bicycle around the very area where this crash happened as there was a shopping mall and big toy store nearby my friends and I would visit, very sad seeing it all of these years later on the news under these circumstances.
A school bus crash has left two high school students dead and two others and their bus driver seriously injured, Houston officials said.
The crash happened around 7 a.m. today after the bus hit and went over the guardrail on the freeway and flipped on the road below. A woman driving a Buick next to the bus hit it after thinking a car was driving into her lane, Houston Police Department spokesman Victor Senties told reporters at a news conference this morning.
"The bus driver attempted to over-correct and put it over the overpass," Senties told reporters of the bus.
Senties said the woman was detained by police but no citations or charges have been filed against her. There were four students, two girls and two boys, aboard the bus. One female student died at the scene and the other girl was declared dead at a hospital.
Law enforcement officials shut down a portion of the freeway pending an investigation, according to ABC station KTRK-TV in Houston. The students were headed to Furr High School.
