Inside the Investigations: Concrete pump truck driver deemed 'imminent hazard'

AUSTIN (KXAN) — Each week the in-depth reporting from the KXAN Investigates team will get a spotlight on KXAN Live.

A conversation happened Wednesday morning with investigative reporter Kelly Wiley and KXAN Live anchor Will DuPree to break down one of this week’s top stories.

The story they’re talking about this week is:

• A five-year-old boy and a college doctoral student died after a concrete pump truck collided with a school bus. Federal records show the truck driver, who investigators said admitted to doing drugs earlier that day, was not allowed to be behind the wheel. Senior investigative producer David Barer and public safety reporter Brianna Hollis discuss why the company the truck driver worked for and the state did not remove him from the road earlier.
