Fatal Texas School Bus Rollover Highlights Seat Belt Safety Concerns

TL;DR Summary
A Hays CISD school bus involved in a rollover crash did not have seat belts, resulting in the death of one child and injuries to at least 10 others. The bus, a 2011 model, predates a 2017 Texas law mandating seat belts on school buses, and around 40 of the district’s 200 buses still lack seat belts. In contrast, neighboring districts like Austin ISD, Leander ISD, and Pflugerville ISD have seat belts on all their buses.
