TEMPLE (January 19, 2012)—Haley Johannsen, 14, who suffered a broken back when a Lowes delivery truck slammed into the Academy ISD school bus in which she was riding Tuesday, was still in intensive care Thursday at Scott & White Children’s Hospital, and expected to be moved in the next few days, but the driver of the bus, Jimmy Johnson, remained in critical condition at Scott & White Hospital.

Johnson has worked for the district for 27 years.

Johannsen and Johnson were the most seriously injured of the 29 students and three adults who were taken to hospitals after the crash Tuesday morning at the intersection of FM 93 and Old Highway 95.

Johannsen, who’s an eighth grade student, underwent surgery after the accident and faces months of rehabilitation.

A Facebook page was set up to list upcoming benefits for the teenager, for whom an account has been established at BBVA Compass Bank.

Donations can be made at any Compass Bank branch.

The girl’s father, Carl Johannsen, said Thursday that his daughter is in good spirits and said the family is thankful for the support they’ve received not only from the Academy area, but also from throughout Central Texas.

He said the teenager can’t move her legs, but said family members remain hopeful, placing their faith in God, believing He can heal her and that there will be a positive outcome.

The bus was traveling on FM 93 and the Lowes truck was southbound on Old Highway 95 at around 7:30 a.m. Tuesday when the driver of the truck ran a stop sign, a state trooper said.

The truck driver, whose name hasn’t been released, has been cited for failure to observe the stop sign at the intersection, the Department of Public Safety said Thursday.

There was fog in the area early Tuesday, but it's not clear whether that might have been a factor, the trooper said.

The bus, which was carrying elementary and middle school children, came to rest on its side.

A 9-year-old boy was ejected through a hatch in the roof of the bus.

At least one area law firm is preparing to file a lawsuit over the crash.

The Carlson Law Firm said Thursday it will file a suit within a few days in Bell County on behalf of at least 10 clients.

Meanwhile, an online petition drive was launched Wednesday calling for such precautions at the highway intersection where the crash occurred as speed bumps, flashing sights and a flashing light.

Organizer Melissa Powell calls the petition "4 The Sake of Our Children," and said in an e-mail the effort is on behalf of the students, their families and the bus driver.
