BASTROP, Texas — Jerimiah Owens was on his way to work when he saw something horrific unfold in front of him.
As a Bastrop school bus was turning into an intersection at Highway 71 and Tucker Hill Lane, a semi truck slammed into it, spinning the bus.
After witnessing the wreck, Owens immediately jumped in to help the 20 students on board.
"Anyone who's a parent would understand that nature. It's just an instinct," Owens said.
He wasn't the only one who rushed to help.
"It was just chaos in the road -- basically everyone going everywhere trying to get these kids unloaded and safely off to the side where they're out of dangers way," Owens said.
Ten students on the bus were sent to hospitals, but thankfully their injuries were not serious, officials said. The driver of the bus and the driver of the semi were also injured.
