In 2018, a bus driver ignored a barricade and drove into rushing floodwaters on County Road 177 at Brushy Creek, causing the bus to float backward and wash off the road. Leander police arrested the driver, who was later found guilty of child endangerment, a state-level felony. He was sentenced to two years of probation, according to court records.

Sgt. Billy Ray, the public information officer for Texas DPS, noted the preliminary crash investigation indicates the school bus was traveling south on Nameless Road, which includes a slight curve. For an unknown reason as of this report, the school bus left the right side of the roadway and rolled over.
