Saturday afternoon, Abilene Christian University traveled to take on Texas Tech in Week 1 of the college football season. The team barely lost 51-52, but what was even more devastating was what happened on the way home on Saturday night.
The team bus was involved in an accident that left four people injured, which required hospitalization for treatment. The cause of the accident was that a 19-year-old under the influence of alcohol collided with the bus and would later be charged with a DWI.
Of the four people taken to the hospital from the ACu bus, one was a player, two were coaches, and the last one was the bus driver. Luckily, none of the injuries were life-threatening and rather minor, according to the Associated Press.
“We are grateful to Texas Tech Director of Athletics Kirby Hocutt, their team physician, Dr. Michael Phy, and all of the first responders for their assistance and care,” an ACU statement said.
