Seventeen jail inmates were injured in a two-vehicle crash in Coleman County Tuesday, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety.
The DPS said the accident happened about 12:15 p.m. on Highway 283 South near County Road 258 south of Santa Anna.
The investigating trooper said the private carrier inmate transfer bus and a pickup were in a one-lane construction zone, and the pickup was following a pilot vehicle at slow speed when the bus hit it from the rear.
The DPS said all the inmates had minor injuries. The bus was transporting prisoners from Hays County to Haskell.
