Officials say there were 35 people on the bus. Multiple passengers were transported to the hospital with minor injuries like cuts and sprains.

While most of the injuries were minor, one person was ejected from the bus during the crash and was taken to the hospital in extremely critical condition. DPS later confirmed that the victim, 39-year-old Liliana Rivera-Cruz of California, had died from her injuries.

Investigators say the bus had a tire failure and left the roadway before hitting a center median barrier.
