The bus crashed on what was the first day of school in Austin, Texas, on Wednesday, officials said.

It was traveling along a rural stretch of road when it suddenly veered and rolled over.

The reason why the bus veered remains unknown at this time.

Investigators revealed there were 42 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren and one adult on board at the time of the crash.

One person was rushed to the hospital with life-threatening injuries, according to Travis County officials.

It’s not known if the person with life-threatening injuries was the driver or a student.

Two others suffered potentially life-threatening injuries.

Pictures captured the extensive damage to the bus.

Its roof suffered extensive damage and several of its windows were broken.

Kids were being transported from the Leander Independent School District, located in the northwest of the city.

The crash happened shortly after kids from one school were allowed to go home for the day.

No students had been dropped off at their homes.

‘A TRAGEDY’

Bruce Gearing, the Leander ISD superintendent, described the crash as a “tragedy.”

“This part of our Leander ISD family has been through so much already this summer with the floods,” he said.

“This tragedy this afternoon is really breaking our hearts.”

The accident in Austin wasn’t the only school bus crash to happen on Wednesday.

A bus carrying 58 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren in Cleveland, Texas, overturned on a stretch of the FM 1010 road.

Sixteen people were left with minor injuries but some 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren were put into ambulances as a precaution.

It was the second time within a week that a bus belonging to the Cleveland Independent School District had been in a crash.

The accident has left some parents wondering if it’s safe for their 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren to take the bus to school.

Marisol Castillo said she had just enrolled her 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren to take the school bus.

“It was concerning because I put them as bus riders, and now I’m thinking about it,” she told the CBS affiliate KHOU-TV.
