Semi truck vs school bus crash hospitalizes children in San Antonio on Wednesday afternoon after a truck driver ran a red light and smacked into the bus.
The accident happened on October 18th in San Antonio, Texas at around 3:30 p.m. at Loop 1604 and US 90.
According to Kens 5 News, twenty Scobee Middle School students were on board the Southwest ISD bus at the time of the accident, which was partially caught on the dash cam of a nearby car.
