Last Friday, a tragic motorcycle accident occurred when a San Marcos High School bus struck a Waco man riding his motorcycle. Waco Police Department Officials reported that the accident happened around the 4800 block of Bagby Avenue at 4:15 PM.
The 18-year old, Brandon Ashley, was hit by the bus when driving westbound down Bagby on his motorcycle. Law enforcement officials believe Ashley was passing the bus on the right when the bus struck him. Ashley was not wearing a helmet at the time of the accident.
Emergency Medical Services and Waco Police arrived at the scene soon after the accident. Ashley was transported to Hillcrest Hospital where he was pronounced dead at 4:35 PM.
The school bus was carrying 30 San Marcos High School football players on their way to a scrimmage in Waco. No one on the bus was injured in the accident.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Ashley’s family and friends during this difficult time.
