Bastrop County, Texas, United States
Officials revealed new information on Wednesday following a deadly bus crash in Bastrop County.
Texas DPS confirmed to KVUE that the vehicle driven by Ryan Wallace was a 2024 Hyundai, not a Dodge Charger, as authorities detailed during their preliminary investigation.
The investigation into the violent crash involving a cement truck and Hays CISD school bus remains under investigation, but DPS confirmed to KVUE that no charges have been filed at this time.
The new information comes as KVUE has obtained video of the crash from the school district. Five-year-old Ulises Rodriguez, a student at Tom Green Elementary School, and Wallace were killed in the crash after the concrete truck veered into the westbound lanes of State Highway 21.
Footage of the crash shows the concrete truck collide with the bus, which was carrying 44 pre-K students and 11 adults from the school as they returned from a field trip to a zoo in Bastrop County. Wallace was driving behind the bus, according to officials.
The video shows the bus driver tried avoiding the crash by partially moving onto the shoulder before it was hit. The entire crash happened in less than 10 seconds.
The truck driver did weed and cocaine.
Reposted because apparently iOS strags can't play the video because Apple hates anything open and royalty-free. Here's the vp9 version, slightly better quality.

Aftermath:
Context 1 (Article from the day of the accident)
Around 8:15 AM on the 2nd, an accident involving two passenger cars occurred on the Metropolitan Expressway Bayshore Route in Ukishima, Kawasaki Ward, Kawasaki City, resulting in two fatalities and one injury. The Kanagawa Prefectural Police High-Speed Unit arrested Yosuke Hikota (50), a company executive driving the car that collided from behind, on the spot for violating the Road Traffic Act (negligent injury) = from Minamikasai, Edogawa Ward, Tokyo.
According to the High-Speed Unit, Hikota's luxury Porsche rear-ended the passenger car in front, killing a man and a woman in the car. It is believed he was trying to overtake, and he admitted to having gone over 100 km/h, acknowledging that he was driving too fast.
The woman was thrown out of the car due to the impact of the accident, and the High-Speed Unit is investigating under the assumption that Hikota was driving at a significant speed. While the suspect was not injured, a man riding with him was hospitalized after suffering abdominal injuries.
The accident site is on a straight section of a three-lane road with a speed limit of 80 km/h.

In August 2020, on the Metropolitan Expressway Bayshore Route in Kawasaki Ward, Kawasaki City, an accident occurred where a sports car rear-ended a passenger car, resulting in the death of the married couple inside the passenger car. On the 19th, the Yokohama District Prosecutors Office indicted the driver of the sports car, a 52-year-old company executive from Edogawa Ward, Tokyo, on charges of dangerous driving resulting in death. The response to the charges has not been disclosed.
According to the indictment, on August 2, 2020, the defendant was driving the sports car on the downward lane of the Metropolitan Expressway Bayshore Route in the same area.

On August 26, 1991 around 5:52pm a 39 year old man was filming the last of the Burlington Northern E9 locomotives in the Chicagoland Area, Downers Grove. When 41 year old Mary T. Wojtyla and her unnamed lawyer walking to finalize divorce papers with Mary's husband ignored the crossing warnings and tried to beat the train. She was struck by the train at 68mph. Her body was flung into the camera and into a crossing control hut behind the camera, she died instantly from impact from the train. Her estate tried to sue Metra for wrongful death but it was dismissed shortly after. There was no injury to any of the bystanders including the lawyer.
In early 2021 this video was used as a shock video on TikTok:
Here is a very low quality version that I found on a 2006 railroad forum:
A&E also did a part on this:
The camera kept recording after it was knocked down and was recording for about 20 minutes before the incident, but the full footage of it is considered Lost Media. Banned From Television has some of the footage before the incident. There are no hints to the full videos current location.
Here is her grave:

Her death was also used at 39:15 on Banned From Television (Vol. 1):

A look on the locomotives from a railfan:
Myths:
The camera man was not filming with his son/grandson.
The camera man or any bystanders were not stuck by the body.
The police didn't have the engineer reenact it.
The engineer knew he hit someone and stopped.
There are no aftermath police photos.
The locomotive is not abandoned, it's preserved in Tennessee.
The locomotives built in the 1950's as EMD E8A or E9A locomotives and were originally built for the Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad and served in passenger service unit 1970 where there were merged into Burlington Northern, they were quickly repainted. All were rebuilt in 1973 by Morrison-Knudsen and renumbered to 9900-9925. After the formation of Metra the locomotive were transferred to them via lease. The locomotive focused on is BN 9912. Most EMD first generation locomotives were retired in the 1970-80's but theses lasted until 1992 when all where finally retired. Burlington Northern merged with the Santa Fe in 1996 to make Burlington Northern Santa Fe.

Chelyabinsk, Russia
The night before, on March 26, in the Kalininsky Rayon of Chelyabinsk, the driver of a Volvo V50 foreign car hit a pedestrian at full speed who was trying to run across the road at a red traffic light. Footage of the accident was captured on city surveillance cameras.
Everything happened at 22:52 near the house number 30 on Rossiyskaya Street (intersection with Pobedy Avenue).
— According to preliminary data, an unidentified driver, driving a Volvo V50 car, hit a pedestrian crossing the roadway at a controlled pedestrian crossing at a traffic light prohibiting signal, after which the unidentified driver left the scene of the accident, — commented the city Traffic Police. — As a result of the accident, a pedestrian, a 25-year-old man, died on the spot from his injuries.
The footage from the cameras shows that the young man was walking on a red light. The driver, trying to avoid a collision, went to the left, but the frightened pedestrian also took two steps back, which led to irreparable consequences. A foreign car with traces of an accident was found near the scene of the emergency. Now the traffic police are looking for the driver.

Hello! That image up there is a map of Russia's federal territories (technically they're "subjects" but that sounds weird to me). I've managed to find a fatal dashcam video for (almost) every single one of them. I'll include a link to the post for further context, and I'll also elaborate on the ones for which there are none when they come up.
To keep things organized, I'll be grouping the videos according to these divisions here:
I won't distinguish between oblasts, republics, krais, etc except for duplicate names. They're basically the same legally.

Many thanks to @sog and @Slavo for the help on this one. Couldn't have done this without them, and I mean that in a very literal sense. Trying to find some of these was fucking mind-melting before they lent a hand.
