AUSTIN, Texas — The principal of Tom Green Elementary School has released a statement following Friday'sFriday's crash happened just before 2 p.m. when a Hays CISD school bus carrying Tom Green Elementary School pre-K students hit a cement truck on State Highway 21 near Mustang Ridge.
Four people were transported to the hospital by helicopter with critical injuries. Ten more were taken by ground to the hospital with serious, but not critical injuries. Officials said they don't know the age or gender of those critically injured. The district later confirmed that the bus did not have seatbelts.
As of mid-day, we still had three staff members and two students known to be in the hospital. We have nine students whose families we are still trying to contact for an update.

Of the two students in the hospital for whom we have an update, both appear to be doing well and remain primarily for observation prior to their anticipated releases in the near future.
