"Four individuals received minor injuries — one student-athlete, two coaches and the bus driver," the school said in a statement. "All four were transported to University Medical Center in Lubbock. We're grateful to Texas Tech director of athletics Kirby Hocutt, their team physician Dr. Michael Phy, and all of the first responders for their assistance and care."
