Posted on Tuesday, April 16th, 2019 at 5:46 am
At least four people were sent to a hospital after a major collision on East 53rd Street, west of Airport Boulevard, Monday.
At around 3:00 p.m., Austin emergency crews were dispatched at E. 53rd Street and Duval after they received a call reporting a crash involving a Capital Metro bus. A surveillance video from a restaurant shows that a CapMetro bus was stopped at the intersection when it collided with a pickup truck. The force of the impact pushed the bus onto a nearby home.
Local officials said that nine people were on board the bus when the incident happened. Among 15 people involved, four of them sustained injuries and required medical assistance. They were all rushed to Dell Seton Medical Center with injuries that were considered non-life-threatening.
No further details are available at this time.
We would like to express our deepest sympathies to the friends and families of the injured victims. We pray for their full recovery as we hope that the Austin Police Department will do everything to bring those responsible to justice.
Injuries caused by vehicle collisions can vary from crash to crash. Some injuries may heal within a span of days while others could paralyze a victim’s body for a month. The most commonly known car accident injuries include neck and chest and head and back injuries. Broken and ligament damages are also quite common.
Sometimes, a car accident can cause serious injuries to multiple parties—and filing a claim can get complicated. To make sure your claim is successful, you need to gather supporting evidence and documents that can back up your claim. It could be a detailed account of the accident you are involved in or documents indicating the extent of injuries you sustained. These may include a video or photograph of the scene, police reports, and medical records, to name a few.
