The collision was classified as a major wreck involving a school bus on eastbound I-30.

School Bus Crashes Can Require Additional Evidence
A collision involving a school bus can raise issues beyond those present in an ordinary passenger-vehicle wreck.
Potentially important evidence may include:
Bus surveillance-camera footage
Dash-camera video
Driver qualification and training records
Bus inspection and maintenance records
GPS or telematics information
Dispatch communications
Crash-scene photographs
Witness statements
Electronic data from other vehicles involved
The investigating officer’s crash report
If students or other passengers were on the bus, investigators may also need to determine where they were seated and how the impact occurred.
Who May Be Responsible After a School Bus Collision?
Responsibility depends on the facts.
Depending on who operated the school bus, a crash could potentially involve a school district, private transportation contractor, bus driver, another motorist, or another company.
Different legal rules can apply when a governmental entity is involved, so identifying the owner and operator of the bus can be an important early part of the investigation.
