SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS (WOAI) -- A San Antonio Independent School District bus driver is
dead following an accident involving two school buses in East Bexar
County.
The accident happened around 7:00 a.m. Monday in front of
Wagner High School on Foster Road near Candlemeadow. Witnesses told
officers the San Antonio ISD bus was traveling north on Foster Road when
the driver appeared to lose control. The bus hit the median, crashed
head-on into a Judson Independent School District bus traveling south on
Foster Road, and then hit a fence.
Officials at the scene
confirmed the driver of the San Antonio ISD school bus, a woman in her
60's, died. They are now checking to see if she had any sort of medical
condition that might have caused her to lose control of the bus.
Three other victims were taken to hospitals. According to San Antonio ISD
officials, the two of the three are San Antonio ISD students. A San
Antonio ISD spokesperson said the other three students on the bus were
not injured. Judson ISD officials confirmed the third person transported
to the hospital was the driver of the Judson ISD school bus.
At least 40 students who attend Masters Elementary were on the Judson ISD school bus. It's believed none of them were seriously injured.
