The driver of a semi-truck was cited for an unsafe lane change following a collision with a school bus on Thursday.
A West Orange-Cove Consolidated Independent School District school bus was traveling south on State Highway 87 Thursday morning, when an 18-wheeler turned from FM 1006 onto Highway 87. The driver of the truck tractor made an unsafe lane change striking the school bus, according to a press release from the Texas Department of Public Safety. At the time of the crash, there were 30 students on the bus.
