CORPUS CHRISTI, Tx — UPDATE: Flour Bluff ISD released a statement that says the students are safe and in good health but their bus driver is being treated for their reaction to the fumes.
ORIGINAL: Paramedics are evaluating students who began complaining about an odd smell on a school bus in Flour Bluff.
According to Flour Bluff ISD's Executive Director Kristen Bily, a group of about seven students who were picked up on Padre Island Friday morning were on their way to school when they began smelling gasoline .
"There may have been a small leak. They (fumes) were coming in from a window," Bily said. At that point, a school bus driver stopped and the district sent another school bus to pick up the children. As a precaution, EMS was called to Flour Bluff Intermediate School to meet the students and make sure everyone was okay.
Bily said at this point, everything appears to be okay.
This is a developing story. We'll bring you more information on this situation as soon as it becomes available.
