Hope the Crosby girls recover quickly.

CROSBY (December 29, 2010)—The driver of an SUV was killed and several passengers on a school bus were injured late Tuesday in a head-on collision in south Texas.

The accident happened Tuesday night outside of Crosby when the driver of the SUV pulled into oncoming traffic to pass a slower-moving vehicle and struck the school bus head-on.

Harris County Sheriff’s Sgt. Glen Wolverton said the SUV driver died instantly.

He has not been named pending notification of next of kin.

The school bus was returning to Crosby with a 9th Grade girls basketball team, their coach and the coach’s daughter after playing in a tournament in Liberty, about 20 miles away.

The 69-year-old bus driver, the coach, his daughter and nine players were sent to an area hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Their conditions were not released Wednesday morning.

Wolverton said the SUV was traveling north when a vehicle in
front of it slowed down or stopped to turn left.

The SUV then moved into oncoming traffic and struck the bus head-on.

Thank goodness.  A tradegy but could have been worse.  Very glad they are all allright.  2100 is sure turning out to be a dangerous road.
