On January 17th, a school bus from Academy, TX, which was carrying 38 children from all grade levels, was clipped by a hardware truck. The school bus flipped onto its side after the hardware truck ran a stop sign.
The accident occurred in the early morning at the intersection of FM 93 and FM 95, which is near the outskirts of Temple, Texas.
32 people (29 of them were children) were sent to the hospital. A 9 year old was ejected during the wreck and the school bus driver was knocked unconscious. Three of the children were admitted to the hospital and one was listed in critical condition.
Academy school Superintendent, Kevin Sprinkles, stated that all the children were expected to recover, but that “they all face a long road” to recovery.
A passerby, Christina Mendoza, told the Temple Daily Telegram: “There was a bunch of little ones all scraped up, and they were all alone.”
