West Man Dies After Clipping San Marcos Bus

According to the San Marcos Daily Record, a West man died Friday when he clipped a San Marcos CISD school bus with his motorcycle.

Police said 18 year old Brandon Ashley was traveling west on Bagby Avenue and tried to pass the bus, full of junior varsity football players on their way to a scrimmage at the Waco ISD stadium.  The Daily Record reports that Waco PD records supervisor Ivan Reyes said Ashley attempted to pass on the right as the bus was making a right turn into the stadium parking lot. 

Waco Police said Saturday they do not expect any charges will be filed in connection with a fatal accident on Friday involving a San Marcos CISD school bus and a motorcycle.  “The motorcycle clipped the right front corner of the bus, causing Ashley to be thrown from the bike.”  The man was not wearing a helmet and died at Hillcrest Hospital.

The Daily Record reports the district kept students away from the scene of the accident and went on to play in the game.  After the scrimmage Waco police counselors talked to the players.  None of the students were injured.  The investigation is ongoing, although the Daily Record reports no charges are expected to be filed against the bus driver.
