SAN ANTONIO -- A local mom is still in shock about what she saw at a North Side railroad crossing Friday morning.
That mom captured video of a school bus driving around crossing arms and flashing lights as a nearby train was approaching. She told News 4 WOAI the bus was filled with children.
"I would be so scared if my daughter was on there," said Jennifer Mendez, who we spoke with as she was picking up her child from school.
The crossing, which is located on Basse Road just West of US 281, is on the cusp of North East Independent School District and Alamo Heights Independent School District. We alerted officials with both districts about the video. After investigating, both districts said they were able to confirm that the bus in question was not theirs.
The School of Excellence is also just down the street from the crossing. Officials there said they are now investigating the incident.
Another concerned parent, Tiffany English, has two kids who attend the School for Excellence.
"How they handle it is going to make a big difference to me about the trust in the administration," English said.
