An affidavit also said Young told a trooper that he had taken prescription medicine including the anxiety drug clonazepam, as well as generic forms of the antidepressant Lexapro and the sedative Ambien.
These reports come on top of an eyewitness who claims that, just after the crash, Young said he was texting at the time of the crash. Young and one person from the bus were the only survivors from the wreck near Uvalde County.
A witness to the crash has said Young told him he was texting while driving. No charges have been filed in the crash.
