The accident happened in the 23700 block of FM 2920, near Tomball, shortly before 6 a.m.
Waller
ISD officials said school bus Number 12 was on its morning route,
stopped at its first stop on FM 2920 to load three students when a car
rear-ended the bus.
"There's
no indication at all that the driver braked before striking the back of
the bus," Deputy David Pierson said. "There shouldn't be any reason not
to be looking ahead and not to have seen this bus stopped in the
roadway ... with the lights activated. Somebody's not paying attention."
The
three students and bus driver on board were not injured. The students'
parent was still at the bus stop when the crash occurred.
Authorities said the bus was flashing red lights and a stop sign.
The
Honda Accord was pinned under the bus. The driver, a 25- to 35-year-old
man, died on impact, officials said. The victim's name was not
released.
FM 2920 was shut down in both directions during the investigation.
