LUBBOCK, Texas — Four people were injured after a bus carrying the Abilene Christian University football team was involved in a crash with another vehicle in Lubbock, Texas, on Saturday night.
Just after 11:30 p.m., Lubbock Police were directing traffic at the intersection of Marsha Sharp Freeway and University Ave. when a driver blew past the intersection and hit the bus which forced the bus to crash into another vehicle.
Police identified the driver as 19-year-old Parker Young.
One player, two coaches, and the bus driver were taken to the University Center in Lubbock for minor injuries, according to a statement by the ACU athletics department.
The team was returning home to Abilene after a close game against the Texas Tech Red Raiders at the Jones AT&T Stadium when the collision occurred. Video posted to social media shows a white truck with extensive front-end damage at the scene.
“We are grateful to Texas Tech Director of Athletics Kirby Hocutt, their team physician, Dr. Michael Phy, and all of the first responders for their assistance and care,” the ACU statement said.
Young was charged with a DWI and is being held at the Lubbock County Detention Center.
