The Rev. Louis Nhien, with the Congregation of the Mother Co-Redemptrix, said although an official list of those killed or injured in the Texas bus crash is not yet available, the names of the some of the victims have become known through unofficial channels.

Nhien — who was working with the Carthage Police Department to get more information — said he knew one of the 13 people on the bus who were killed and also knew a woman is hospitalized in critical condition.

“I just spoke with the man a few weeks ago,” he said.

The crash early Friday in Sherman, Texas, injured at least 40 more in a group of Vietnamese Catholic worshippers. A charter bus carrying them on a pilgrimage to Marian Days in Carthage ran off an highway overpass north of Dallas and crashed in flames on a roadway below.

The bus smashed into a guard rail at about 12:45 a.m. on a bridge that’s about 15 feet above a creek, apparently skidding along the guard rail before sliding off U.S. 75 just the other side of the bridge.

Nhien said the injured woman was the mother of a former member of the Congregation community. He said news of the crash was announced at a 7:30 a.m. Mass. Nhien said those at the Mass were asked to prayer for the victims of the crash and their families.

“And we will do that at each mass the rest of the day,” he said.

The right front tire of the bus carrying 55 people from Houston to Missouri blew out, but officials were still investigating the cause of the accident.

Sherman Fire Chief Jeff Jones says 12 people died on the scene and two in hospitals. At least six of the wounded were in critical condition.
