Crash mars spring break return
A Mineola school bus carrying 12 students collided with a car just north of the primary campus Monday morning before the start of school.
The preliminary report by the Dept. of Public Safety said the small school bus was southbound on NW Loop 564 at 7:13 a.m. and crossed the center stripe, colliding with a northbound 2014 Nissan Versa.
Six students were taken to local hospitals for minor injuries, according the district, while six students were treated at the scene and released.
MISD Superintendent Cody Mize said at Monday night’s board meeting that all 12 students were at home recuperating.
He had high praise for the professionalism of all the first responders who worked the crash and was thankful that the outcome was not worse than it was.
The bus driver was taken to Christus Mother Frances Hospital in Tyler and the driver of the car was taken to UT Health Hospital in Tyler, both with what were reported as non-life threatening injuries.
The investigation is ongoing.
It marked the second crash involving an area school district in recent months.
An Alba-Golden bus was struck by a vehicle that crossed the center line near Grand Saline on FM 17 on Saturday, Feb. 11 as students were on their way to an academic competition. No serious injuries were reported.
