HOUSTON — Several students and two adults were taken to the hospital following a rollover crash involving a Houston ISD bus in southeast Houston Wednesday morning, according to the Houston Fire Department.
HFD said 10 children and two adults were taken by ambulances to be treated for minor injuries. An aerial view from Air 11 showed the bus on its side.
This happened just before 7:30 a.m. on Berkley Street near Kimble. This is east of the Gulf Freeway and south of the 610 Loop.
Officials said a small sedan crashed into the bus, flipping it on its side. The driver of the sedan reportedly stayed on the scene and tried to help.
In a statement, Houston ISD told KHOU 11 that their top concern is student and staff safety. Read the district’s full statement:
“Bus route 2102 was involved in an accident on the way to school this morning. It was transporting ten students to High School Ahead. All ten students and the driver were transported to local hospitals for evaluation and observation out of an abundance of caution. At this time, we have no reports of serious injuries.
