RICHMOND, Texas (KTRK) -- Officials issued a warning about back to school safety after a driver was caught on dashcam video speeding past a stopped school bus, ignoring its stop sign.

The video was captured in the Rivers Edge area in Richmond on Aug. 22.

The dashcam video shows a car stopped behind a school bus in the neighborhood. Meanwhile, a white SUV speeds around the stopped cars and bus.

Fortunately, Fort Bend County Precinct 1 Constable Chad Norvell said no students were hurt.

"An absolutely unacceptable start to the school year," Norvell said in a social media post.

Officials with Constable Norvell's office said they had been in contact with the driver and no charges were filed.

Law enforcement officials are warning drivers to pay extra attention, especially now that school is back in session.
