(Seguin) – The Seguin ISD has confirmed that one of its students was among those involved in a major crash involving a Hays CISD school bus, a concrete truck and a private vehicle in Bastrop County last Friday. While the district can’t release too many details due to privacy and concern for the student and their family, it has been confirmed that the “child is not in the hospital.”
Seguin ISD Superintendent Dr. Veronica Vijil has been working closely with the family to meet their needs. According to SISD, the student was on the bus because the district partners with Hays CISD for special programming, such as the trip during which the accident occurred.
The bus carried more than 40 people, most of them pre-K students from Tom Green Elementary in Buda and was returning from a field trip to the Capital of Texas Zoo in Cedar Creek when it was hit by a concrete truck on State Highway 21. Two people, including a 5-year-old child, were killed in the crash. The other victim was reportedly driving behind the bus. Several others, including adults, suffered serious injuries. Officials say a few victims remain hospitalized.
