According to Larry Baimbridge, Chief of the Spring Branch ISD Police Department, the bus was heading eastbound on Westview and was going through the Silber Road intersection when a vehicle traveling southbound struck the bus.
The bus spun, struck a lightpole, and turned on its side.
Baimbridge said there were six students on the bus, ages 11-17. One was taken to Texas Children’s Hospital with minor injuries. The others were checked out for bumps and bruises.
The driver of the other vehicle was also hospitalized. Baimbridge did not know her condition.
Right now, no charges have been filed, but Baimbridge said they will be reviewing camera footage to try and find out what happened and if a citation or charges will be needed.
Spring Branch ISD released the following statement:
“Spring Branch ISD is grateful that the six students and driver on Bus 19 who were involved in an accident near Silber and Westview are safely off the bus and being checked out by EMS personnel at the scene. At this time, we believe one student may have sustained an injury to their wrist.”
