15 Students Hurt in Chain Collision Involving School Buses

Four school buses carrying students to a high school football playoff game in Central Texas were involved up in a chain collision, injuring 15 students.

A Temple school district statement said all injuries were minor.

The crash happened about 6:30 p.m. Friday on Farm Road 485 near Cameron. The buses were carrying Temple High School cheerleaders and members of the school band, drill team and dance squad to Bryan for a playoff game against Houston's Stratford High School. Witnesses said one bus apparently clipped a rear-view mirror on an 18-wheeler approaching from the opposite direction on the two-lane road. When the bus stopped, the other buses failed to stop in time.

The 15 students were treated at Cameron and Temple hospitals and discharged.

Temple beat Stratford, 14-6 to advance.
