Driver killed in morning wreck
Submitted by jcht2010 on
An early morning wreck in LaWard left one person deceased and several more injured on Aug. 10.
Just before 7 a.m., Ruben Montalvo, 44, of Bloomington, was driving his 2012 Dodge Avenger eastbound on FM 616 near Espirito Ave., when he collided with an R Transit bus, which was carrying a driver and 17 passengers on their way to work at the plant.
“For an unknown reason, [Montalvo’s] vehicle veered into the oncoming land and struck the bus, front-left to front-left, and both vehicles came to rest on the south side ditch of FM 616,” said Trooper Ruben San Miguel, the DPS Public Information Officer.
Montalvo was pronounced dead at the scene by Jackson County Judge Dennis Simons at 8:11 a.m.
Five of the passengers on the bus were transported to Jackson County Hospital, though Trooper San Miguel said all were in stable condition, and none of the injuries sustained were life threatening.
