Milam County Sheriff Charlie West assisted at the scene. Cameron Business Manager Maxie Morgan, who spent most of the night at the scene, and the hospital, said the 1996 International bus sustained moderate front left and rear axle damage. The Cameron Jr. High Band students were returning home after an all-day trip to Fiesta Texas in San Antonio. |
