CBS Austin confirmed Wednesday afternoon, the concrete truck that struck a Hays CISD school bus last Friday, killing two people, is owned and operated by FJM Co

ncrete Pumping LLC. The crash report hasn't been released by officials and the incident continues to be investigated.

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. "These pumps are all metal... they're very, very heavy, so it's like trying to stop a train," said Jorge Chavez. He's been working as a cement pump truck driver for 15 years with a company out of El Paso. "I've been on a couple of close calls," said Chavez, "if I'm going 65 , it will take me at least about 100 feet to come to a complete stop."
