Multiple people died and more than a dozen others were injured after a stolen car crashed into a transport bus on a highway in San Antonio, Texas, police said.
Around 2 p.m. local time on July 17, a stolen white Camaro with four individuals inside crashed into the bus, which was carrying a trailer, on South Interstate 35 in the Leon Creek area, San Antonio Police Chief Bill McManus said.
Two people were pronounced dead and 18 others were injured, McManus said. Two more people died later Thursday night, according to local reports from News 4 and KSAT.
USA TODAY has reached out to the Bexar County Medical Examiner's Office and San Antonio Police Department.
Suspects in stolen car crash at large, police say
Four individuals fled from the stolen car and were still being searched for as of Thursday afternoon, McManus said.
One of the suspects was also armed with an assault rifle, he said.
The car was speeding at the time of the crash, according to police.
An investigation into the incident is ongoing, McManus said.
Children, seniors injured in crash, police say
McManus said the two individuals who died in the crash were senior adults.
The injured individuals ranged in age from "young children to senior adults," McManus said. They were transported to area hospitals.
A Facebook post from the transportation company Transportes Guerra said the bus was traveling from Fort Worth to Mexico and asked family members to contact the company's office at 830-319-5168, 862-109-7187 or 682-758-1055.

Former UK police officer found guilty in brutal killing of wife who uncovered his double life

An ex-police officer from England has been found guilty of murdering his wife in Georgia after she discovered his affair, an exposure that reportedly threatened to reveal his fraudulent immigration status. Brian McManus, 57, a former officer with the London police and originally from the UK, was found guilty of killing his 63-year-old wife, Lucille Ann McManus, in 2023. The Houston County District Attorney's Office confirmed the conviction in a Facebook statement this week. Authorities emphasized that Brian McManus attempted to conceal his crime, shift blame onto the victim's family, and avoid punishment, but fell short. "McManus tried to cover the murder up, pin it on the victim's family, and walk away without consequence. He failed," the DA's office wrote in a statement. "Because of the work of the Warner Robins Police Department, forensic experts, and Houston County Asst. DAs Justin Duane and Lauren Fletcher, the truth won out." Daughter Of Irish Man Beaten To Death By American Wife, Her Ex-fbi Agent Father Rejects Self-defense Claims The case began on November 24, 2023, when officers responded to what was initially reported as a suicide at the couple's residence in Warner Robins, Georgia. Upon arrival, police found Lucille's body on a bed with a head wound, according to the Warner Robins Police Department. She was reportedly found unclothed, according to FOX 5. Read On The Fox News App Prosecutors allege Brian McManus struck his wife with an object as she exited the shower, strangled her, then cleaned up and walked the dog. Brian McManus, who reportedly made the 911 call, claimed he returned home from walking his dog to find his wife dead, according to the outlet. However, during the trial, prosecutors noted that he gave conflicting statements and showed no concern for his wife, only distress about being viewed as the prime suspect. Barry Morphew Seen For First Time After Jail Booking, Maintains Innocence In Wife's Death The outlet reported that he even attempted to blame the murder on the victim's granddaughter and her boyfriend, who they lived with, but cell phone data disproved their presence. Security footage also captured him near a drainage ditch where police found a rubber mallet and cell phone. Investigators also discovered that the couple met on the popular dating app, Tinder, and were married within three months, per FOX 5. McManus had previously worked for the London police but was dismissed after several women accused him of sexually threatening behavior. According to the outlet, his first marriage ended after he was arrested for domestic violence. Authorities said Brian McManus was involved with another woman in Florida and that his wife discovered the affair when he accidentally sent her a message intended for his mistress. She then threatened to expose their alleged "sham" marriage, according to prosecutors. Alex Murdaugh's Defense Attorney Explains Why He Thinks The Disgraced Lawyer Is Innocent, Will Get A New Trial Several witnesses alleged that the marriage was arranged primarily to help Brian McManus obtain a U.S. green card, according to reports. "Miss Ann was a lonely woman, and the defendant used that to his advantage. He used her to abuse our immigration system and then, when he got caught, brutally killed her," Assistant District Attorney Ada Duane said. "No one deserves to die like that. McManus is a serial liar and con man who attempted to hide the fact that he murdered his wife by tampering with evidence and blaming others. He is a textbook narcissist who thinks he is the smartest man in the room. I am glad that the jury saw him for what he was – a monster – and grateful that the victim's family finally has some answers." "This was a brutal and calculated murder carried out by an evil sociopath who views the women in his life as disposable," District Attorney Eric Z. Edwards said. "Brian McManus was not only willing to exploit our immigration system and manipulate a vulnerable woman into a sham marriage—he was willing to kill her when she became inconvenient. And then he tried to cover it up, pin it on her family, and walk away without consequence. He failed." Officials said as their community undertakes a renewed effort to prevent family violence-related homicides, this case serves as a heartbreaking reminder of the lives at risk. "As our community launches a renewed initiative to prevent family violence homicides, this case is a gut-wrenching reminder of what's at stake. This office will never hesitate to bring the full weight of the law down on abusers who mistake silence for weakness," the DA's office said. A spokesperson for Tinder told Fox News Digital that they can't comment on any individual's account, but said that the safety of their members is their highest priority. "If a user contacts us to report a crime or unsafe incident—whether it occurred on the app or following a match, we take the matter extremely seriously and follow a structured, trauma-informed response protocol," the company said. The company added that they also have a dedicated law enforcement portal, the first of its kind in the industry, which allows "qualified law enforcement agencies to securely request information related to ongoing investigations." "We stand ready to assist investigations by providing relevant data in compliance with applicable laws and privacy protocols," the company said.

Terrelle Pryor lawsuit against Ohio State and the NCAA dismissed by judge Friday

Not all lawsuits are created equal, not even in the age of Name, Image and Likeness apparently. Former Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor saw his lawsuit against Ohio State, the Big Ten, and NCAA dismissed by Ohio Southern District Chief Judge Sarah D. Morrison on Friday. The news was reported by The Athletic's Ralph D. Russo (subscription may be required) through documents he obtained, pointing to a statute of limitations that had passed. 'Mr. Pryor failed to assert his claims for injunctive relief within the four-year statutory period, wrote Morrison in her ruling. "And he makes no argument to rebut the presumption that allowing his claims to proceed would be unreasonable and prejudicial to Defendants." Pryor brought forth the lawsuit in October, following similar other lawsuits that aimed to take advantage of new NIL advantages current athletes enjoy that some of the past did not. Pryor came to Ohio State as a 5-star prospect who was one of the most coveted in the country. His recruitment and postponement of his commitment announcement were greatly publicized until he eventually committed to the Buckeyes in March of 2008. He chose OSU over Oregon, Penn State, and Michigan. Pryor starred on the field for Ohio State, but his time in Columbus ended in controversy. He was a part of the much-publicized "tattoo-gate," and eventually entered the 2011 NFL supplemental draft rather than face a suspension in 2011, thus ending his OSU career.
