Uvalde Crash Update: All passengers in church bus were wearing seatbelts, NTSB officials say

The National Transportation Safety Board gave its final on-location briefing Monday, signifying the completion of the on-scene investigation that killed 13 in Uvalde County last week.

Officials offered few new details about the crash, which involved a bus carrying congregants from a New Braunfels church and a pickup. Only one person in the church bus survived. The driver of the pickup also survived.

An NTSB official said that the lone survivor in the church bus was sitting in the back right corner of the vehicle. The driver and passengers of the church bus had their seat belts on and air bags deployed when the collision occurred.

Airbags also deployed in the pickup truck. The driver, 20-year-old Leakey resident Jack D. Young, was not wearing a seat belt, the NTSB official said.
