Cement truck crash kills boy on school bus, man in another vehicle in Texas

A cement truck veered into a school bus carrying more than 40 pre-K students returning from a field trip to a Texas zoo Friday, killing a boy on the bus and a man in another vehicle, authorities said. Officials said the bus rolled over on the highway in the rural outskirts of Austin. The roof of the bus was crumpled, and another vehicle nearby was badly damaged. Personal items were strewn across the road.

In addition to the two people who died, 51 were injured, including the bus driver, schools officials said. Four people in critical condition were airlifted from the crash site and six others with potentially serious injuries were transported by ambulance, said Kevin Parker, division chief Austin-Travis County Emergency Medical Services. An ambulance bus transported about 10 other patients to a children’s hospital with minor injuries, Parker said. Passengers on the bus included 44 students and 11 adults, according to the Hays Consolidated Independent School District
