KYLE — At approximately 4:20 p.m.on Aug. 13, the Kyle Police Department and Kyle Fire Department responded to a collision involving a Hays CISD school bus.
According to KPD Chief Jeff Barnett, the school bus was traveling in the 400 block of Center Street in downtown Kyle when the driver felt a bump at the rear end of the vehicle and called it in. Both first responding departments responded to the call, shutting down a portion of Center Street to the public.
There were 51 students and one bus driver, with no injuries, according to KPD.
The vehicle that allegedly hit the bus did leave the scene, but a description was recorded by responding officials.
Barnett later stated that “at best, it was a minor accident,” as there was no evidence, not even a scratch said the chief, on the bumper of the bus.
Hays CISD Chief Communication Officer Tim Savoy revealed that the bus driver would later review camera footage from the bus to determine what took place during the incident.
After the evaluation of the footage was complete, Barnett confirmed that no collision occurred.
