HOUSTON—An Aldine ISD school bus crashed into a Harris County deputy who was headed to an officer-involved shooting call Monday afternoon.

It happened at Highway 249 and West Road, just after 2 p.m.

According to HCSO, the deputy was headed north on 249 with his lights and siren on when he was sideswiped by the bus as he passed through the intersection at West Road.

The bus then crashed into another car.

An Aldine ISD spokesperson said the bus driver was trying to avoid a collision when it swiped the cruiser and hit the second vehicle.

The bus driver, the deputy and two people in the other car were all taken to the hospital, but their injuries were not considered to be life-threatening.

Aldine ISD said there were no children on the bus at the time of the crash.
