A student was severely injured on the morning of Friday, October 16, 2026, at the eastbound intersection of U.S. Highway 90 and Stilson Road, near State Highway 99 in Dayton, Texas. Fox 26 Houston reported that Dayton police arrested a Dayton ISD bus driver, and investigators believe the school bus struck the child and left the scene without stopping to render aid. The district said preliminary information indicates the vehicle was a school bus operated by one of its drivers, and that it is cooperating with police.
ABC13 Houston reports in its latest coverage that the teen struck in the hit-and-run has died, according to the teen’s father. We have not independently confirmed the death with authorities, and the cause and circumstances of the crash remain under investigation. Any allegations against the driver have not been proven in court.
