Last Friday afternoon, a group of 12 A&E students, three faculty and one spouse boarded a bus and left for their annual weekend mission trip to Medina Children’s Home. At approximately 3:20 p.m., on U.S. Highway 83 at the intersection of Country Road 234 between Ballinger and Paint Rock, the bus left the roadway and rolled, striking a ditch and culvert.
