San Antonio (WBAP/KLIF News) – The Real County Sheriffs Office has released 911 calls from the bus crash that killed 13 people earlier this week. The crash was in Uvalde County, but one man’s 911 call went through to Real County.
“He’s all over the road, both sides,” he tells the dispatcher. “He’s going to hit somebody head-on or he’s going to kill himself. Somebody needs to get this guy off the road.”
Witnesses say they went up to the truck after the crash. They say the driver, Jack Dillon Young, started apologizing, saying he had been texting.
On Friday, the Department of Public Safety said the driver of the truck appears to have crossed the center line but could not confirm if distracted driving played a role.
Twelve people on the bus died at the scene. Another person died at the hospital. Young remains in the hospital.
The National Transportation Safety Board has joined the investigation.
