Horrifying fresh footage shows a truck swerving across a Texas road moments before it plowed into a church bus, killing thirteen people.

Witness Jody Kuchler, 55, said he recorded the movie while calling authorities in an attempt to get the driver off the road.

The clip, published by My San Antonio, shows the White Dodge pickup truck recklessly swerving across the lanes, almost causing several crashes before the deadly incident Wednesday.

Kuchler kept recording for twenty minutes, remaining at a safe distance behind the vehicle, which authorities said was driven by 20-year-old Jack Dillon Youthfull in Uvalde County.

‘He kept going off the road and over into incoming traffic,’ Kuchler told KENS5. ‘There was a duo of cars and trucks that actually got off on the shoulder.’

Audio of calls obtained by KSAT exposes how Kuchler attempted to alert authorities about the driver’s behavior.

‘He’s going to hit somebody head on or he’s going to kill his own damn self. Somebody needs to get this man off the road,’ the witness can be heard telling.

‘He’s going like eighty miles an hour right now,’ he later added.

The witness told KENS5 that authorities in neighboring Real County had declined to send help because the truck, which was approaching Real County, was still in Uvalde County.

‘His response was, “It’s not in Real County,” Kuchler said, recounting the conversation.

The audio published by KSAT includes a conversation with a dispatcher at the Real County sheriff’s office telling, ‘That’s going to be Uvalde County, Tormentor.’

A frustrated Kuchler can be heard replying and highlighting the urgency of the situation, telling the driver was ‘all over the road’.

‘We’re talking about safety. Somebody needs to get this man off the road,’ the witness said.

He had stopped recording when the head-on collision occurred moments later. Kuchler previous said Youthful had apologized and admitted he was texting at the wheel.

Kuchler recalled on Friday: ‘He said, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I was texting.” I said, “Son, do you know what you just did?” He said, “I’m sorry. I’m sorry.”‘
