HARRIS COUNTY, Texas — Several people were injured Sunday when a church bus flipped on its side in east Harris County, according to Sheriff Ed Gonzalez.
Gonzalez tweeted about it just after 1 p.m. but said the crash happened around noon at an apartment complex on Uvalde Road just south of Wallisville Road. Gonzalez said the bus was transporting people from church service.
"When our units arrived, they had to mobilize very quickly because children were kind of partially out of the bus and in different places," Gonzalez said. "So it was very chaotic. Initially, they were able to stabilize the situation. One adult person, possibly a female, is in critical condition, we are told. The rest are expected to survive their injuries."
According to Gonzalez, there were 15 people on board the bus: three adults and 12 children. Fourteen out of the 15 were taken to area hospitals for treatment. All are expected to survive.
Gonzalez said the 42-year-old driver was speeding around a curve when the bus flipped on its side. The driver wasn't injured and also didn't show signs of intoxication, according to Gonzalez.
No other vehicles were involved in the crash.
