Houston church bus crash injures 16 people, including 13 children

HOUSTON — Sixteen people, including 13 children, were injured when a small church bus overturned near a Houston-area apartment on Sunday, officials said.

The bus belonging to the Baptist Church rolled over and landed on its side after the driver attempted a left turn in a northeastern Harris County neighborhood around 12:30 p.m. Stated.

“We are grateful that no one was seriously injured,” Chen said.

A witness at the apartment complex told investigators that the bus appeared to be speeding, Cheng said.

The 16 people on the bus (13 children and 3 adults) were taken to hospital. Children were 1 to 16 years old.

It’s unclear how fast the driver was going, but the speed limit on the road was 30 miles per hour (48 kilometers per hour), Chen said.

A subpoena is likely to be issued to the driver, but investigators are still deciding whether charges can be filed in the case, Cheng said.
