On Thursday, September 24, Sanger Police and the Sanger Fire Department were dispatched to a report of a vehicle accident at the intersection of Huling Road and Lois Road East in Denton. Upon arrival, crews discovered that a Sanger Independent School District (ISD) bus had overturned.
First‑responder actions
Firefighters quickly secured the scene, ensuring the bus was stable and that any potential hazards, such as fuel leaks, were contained. Police officers established a perimeter to keep traffic away from the accident site and began gathering witness statements. The combined effort of both departments helped maintain safety for nearby residents and motorists while the investigation continued.
What is known so far
The overturned vehicle was identified as a school bus operated by Sanger ISD. The exact cause of the overturn remains under review; officials have not released details about road conditions, driver actions, or mechanical issues that may have contributed to the incident. At this time, no injuries have been reported, and the health of any passengers or crew members is being monitored.
Ongoing investigation
According to the Sanger City Manager, the investigation is still in its early stages. Authorities are reviewing dash‑camera footage, speaking with the bus driver, and checking the vehicle’s maintenance records. The goal is to determine whether driver error, road surface conditions, or another factor led to the bus flipping over.
Community impact
While the incident caused temporary disruption at the busy intersection, traffic was rerouted and normal flow resumed after the bus was safely righted and towed away. Parents and students were notified that classes would proceed as scheduled, and the school district is working to ensure that any affected routes are restored promptly.
Next steps
Sanger ISD has pledged to keep families informed as more information becomes available. The district’s transportation department will conduct a thorough safety review of its fleet and routes to prevent similar occurrences in the future. Residents with additional information are encouraged to contact Sanger Police or the city manager’s office.
Updates will be added to this story as the investigation progresses and more details emerge.
