Southeast of Austin today. A field trip to the zoo for 44 pre-K kids. Cement truck veered into their lane. Two fatalities so far, the chaperones musta had everyone wearing seatbelts. https://news4sanantonio.com/news/lo...sbastrop-county-line-involves-40-people#

Damnit.
I believe the newly purchased buses have to have seat belts according to state law.
When I left in 2018, there was talk and a lot of bitching about it.

Looks like a boom concrete pump truck. Bad crash there, especially for the car.

Holy cow, 44 preschoolers and accompanying adults on that bus. Thank God for seat belts. Bus dashcam

Article states there were not seat belts on the bus. It is amazing there were not more fatalities.

I have NEVER seen a school bus with seat belts. Rode them 10 years.
No seatbelts 25 yrs later for my kids either.
