Concrete truck veers into Hays CISD school bus on field trip, killing child and adult

A Hays CISD bus carrying 44 pre-K students and 11 adults from Tom Green Elementary School crashed with a concrete truck on State Highway 21 in Bastrop County, resulting in at least two fatalities and multiple injuries.

The crash occurred around 1:59 p.m. as the bus was traveling west on the highway with students from Tom Green Elementary who were returning from a field trip to the Bastrop Zoo. 51 others were injured at the scene with four of those transported by helicopter in critical condition, six transported by ground with potentially serious injuries, and 10 were taken to a children's hospital by ambulance bus. Some who suffered minor injuries did not require transport and were moved to a reunification center established by the school district.

He thanked first responders and everyone who has reached out to offer support from other school districts to Governor Greg Abbott. He also thanked the bus driver, who he says despite being injured, insisted on all the children receiving treatment first.I can report to you this evening that our reunification process was completed at 6:45 p.m. Our teachers and school staff have all been commendable and professional in their efforts to help everyone affected by today’s unspeakable event.
