Van Driver Arrested for Role in Minnesota School Bus Crash

4 students killed, 14 injured in SW Minnesota school bus crash

COTTONWOOD, Minn. -- Authorities have confirmed that the the driver of the van that struck the school bus that killed 4 students on Tuesday is an illegal alien.

Officials at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement are checking to see where she came from and how long she's been in Minnesota. FOX 9 has also learned that the name she gave to police, Alainiss Morales, is an alias.

23-year-old Alainiss N. Morales was taken into custody on suspicion of criminal vehicular operation. She was arrested by the State Patrol Thursday afternoon and is being held in Lyon County Jail. County Attorney Rick Maes told the Marshall Independent charges could come later Thursday or Friday.

The National Transportation Safety Board and Minnesota State Patrol are investigating Tuesday's bus crash near Cottonwood, Minnesota that killed four children and injured 14 people. More recently, details have emerged about the van involved in the accident and its driver.

The van was heading east on County Road 24, which has a stop sign as it ends in a T intersection with state Highway 23, the road the bus was traveling. The van struck the bus, which rolled over onto a truck.

The driver of the truck told the Minneapolis Star Tribune he saw the van run the stop sign.

"I saw the maroon van run a stop sign, it blew over the railroad tracks and hit the bus, sending it sliding into me," James M. Hancock, 45, of Marshall, told the newspaper from his hospital bed in Sioux Falls, S.D. "The next thing I knew, they were hauling kids out and it was chaos."

The van was driven by Alianiss N. Morales, 23, of Minneota. The Fox 9 Investigator found Morales pleaded guilty in Chippewa County in 2006 to driving without a valid license.

State Patrol officials said Thursday they were not immediately able to confirm if Morales was unlicensed, nor could they confirm whether Morales ran a stop sign. Lt. Mark Peterson said that was still under investigation, but that the investigation was "moving forward very quickly."

The school bus was carrying 28 students. Cottonwood Fire Chief Dale Louluagie confirmed that 3 fatalities of the crash died immediately upon impact and the fourth victim died around 8 p.m. Tuesday night.

The mayor of St Paul is named Coleman. A very liberal columnist for the Star and Sickle is named Coleman. They are brothers. Both mayors of St Paul and Minneapolis have instructed police not to hassle, arrest, take into custody or even check backgrounds of alledged illegal aliens. Now an illegal alien, who was caught driving into somebody's yard and should have been deported that time, has killed 4 young legal citizens. Coleman the columnist wrote an article the other day decrying the racists among us that say she should be deported. Both mayors should be recalled for not upholding the oath of office they took when sworn into their jobs.

Listen up people: Political Correctness is destroying this country. We cant even have a proper debate about illegal immagration without being labeled racist and now we have 4 dead children. When will the insanity stop?
