News From the Border

Providing the news from a different front but from a war that we must win as well! I recognize the poverty and desperate conditions that many Latinos live in. We, as the USA, have a responsibility to do as much as we can to reach out to aid and assist spiritually with the Gospel and naturally with training, technology and resources. But poverty gives no one the right to break the laws of another sovereign nation.

DULZURA – A van loaded with at least 18 suspected illegal immigrants crashed in the predawn darkness Wednesday just north of state Route 94, killing one young woman and seriously injuring at least three other people, the California Highway Patrol reported.

One of the injured is a 5-year-old girl.

Crash survivors told CHP officers that they had been hiding in the bushes a short distance north of the crash site to be picked up, and had been in the van only a few minutes before the crash occurred.

The van apparently drifted off the pavement on Honey Springs Road just before the SR-94 junction, Pennings said.

The driver cut back hard onto the pavement and slashed diagonally across the road, but lost control. The vehicle then rolled across the road and into the field, with its occupants being thrown out as it went, officers said.
