Minor injuries
Ten students from High School Ahead Academy Middle School in Houston, Texas, were hospitalized after a school bus flipped over on Wednesday morning. The incident occurred around 7 a.m. on the I-610 South Loop east feeder road near the I-45 Gulf Freeway at Berkley in southeast Houston.
According to the Houston Independent School District (HISD), bus route 2102 was en route to a nearby campus when the accident took place. As the school bus attempted to make a sharp right turn onto Berkley, it was struck by another car, causing it to flip onto its side.
Houston police reported that both the bus driver and the driver of the other vehicle involved in the crash sustained minor injuries and were taken to the emergency room along with ten children who were aboard the bus at that time. Fortunately, everyone managed to exit safely before first responders arrived.
The Houston Fire Department confirmed that all those transported had only suffered minor injuries and were taken as a precautionary measure. No serious injuries have been reported thus far.
Crews worked diligently to upright and remove debris from around it.
During this process, authorities temporarily closed down part of I-610 South Loop's eastbound feeder road but have since reopened it for regular traffic flow.
An investigation is currently underway to determine which driver bears responsibility for causing this accident.
