Cause of fatal bus crash in Texas still undetermined

A jumble of passengers landed on broken glass and one another before they began climbing out through the windows and emergency exit. Two people, a man and a woman, near the front of the bus were thrown, dead on impact, passengers said. The other 40 people aboard the bus were taken to area hospitals Tuesday. Someone inside handed him an infant. Many passengers were bloody or appeared to have broken bones, he said.

The Americanos USA bus departed San Antonio on Tuesday morning and was headed to the Mexican border city of Matamoros, with planned stops in Falfurrias and McAllen, Texas.

Two of the passengers who survived had critical injuries, while others were in stable condition or had been discharged.

Texas DPS Trooper Jason Reyes said the cause of the accident remained under investigation, but there was no initial indication the driver, 47-year-old Irma Morado, was impaired.
