Police say a 51-year-old Kingwood woman crashed into an Humble Independent School District bus head-on Monday morning after she veered into the oncoming lane on Wilson Road.
According to Humble PD accident investigator Officer Jack Burt, the accident occurred at 7 a.m. in the 2700 block of Wilson, in front of the Meadowbrook mobile home park.
Burt said it is unclear at this time why the woman, who was traveling southbound on Wilson in a Buick Century, crossed the center lane and subsequently clipped an oncoming Lincoln Towncar before crashing into the school bus. A citation for failure to maintain a single lane is pending, he said.
“The driver of the Buick was transported to [Memorial Hermann] Northeast Hospital by ground ambulance,” Burt said. “The driver of the Lincoln and the bus driver were uninjured.”
Humble ISD spokeswoman Karen Collier said no children were on the bus at the time of the accident.
“That’s definitely something we’re grateful for,” Collier said.
Burt said the Buick was totaled in the wreck and the bus suffered moderate damage.
