On March 29, the 20-year-old driver of a 2007 Dodge pickup crossed the center line of U.S. 83 about 30 miles north of Uvalde. An instant later, the truck ran head-on into a bus carrying 14 elderly church members coming home from a choir retreat. —
With 13 members of the First Baptist Church of New Braunfels killed in the collision, online social media networks lit up with reports that the pickup driver had been weaving erratically before the 12:20 p.m. collision near Garner State Park. Local and federal investigators are now investigating the cause of the crash, with a National Transportation Safety Board inquiry still pending.
