Two teens were hospitalized with non-life threatening injuries and the Lampasas High School soccer team was uninjured following a three-vehicle accident involving a school bus on Thursday afternoon.
At 5:12 p.m., emergency responders were dispatched to an accident at the railroad crossing on US 281 just north of Marble Falls city limits, where three-vehicle accident was reported with one vehicle in a rollover.
Burnet Volunteer Fire Department Spokesperson Daniel Dilworth said the accident occurred when a Lampasas ISD school bus carrying 28 high school soccer players was making a required stop in front of the railroad tracks while traveling southbound on the highway.
Dilworth said a blue Dodge Ram 1500 struck the back of the bus, and a black Ford Escape swerved to avoid the collision, rolling off the roadway to the right and flipping several times, coming to rest right side up.
