NEVADA, Texas — One person was killed in a crash Thursday morning involving a vehicle and Community ISD school bus near Lavon and Nevada, DPS officials confirmed to WFAA.

The crash happened near the intersection of FM 6 and Discovery Drive just after 8 a.m. Thursday. DPS officials told WFAA an SUV "turned left when unsafe and was struck by the Community ISD school bus." The SUV was occupied by a driver and passenger, DPS officials said. The driver was taken to Baylor of Lakepoint in Rowlett, where he died. The SUV passenger was checked and released at the scene, DPS said.

There were children on the school bus, but none were injured in the crash, officials said. The person driving the other vehicle involved in the crash died. 

Just last month, a 9-year-old was killed in a multi-vehicle crash (a Jeep, a sedan, a work van and a Princeton ISD school bus) on the FM 3286 bridge over Lavon Lake. The 9-year-old was a passenger in the sedan. This crash happened on the opposite side of Lavon Lake.
