#BreakingNews #Florida #crash
Hey that’s why they need to speak ENGLISH
↑ 🙄
They are carrying people on the bus as sadines
I hear they are migrants .. likely illegals
Special in Miami Dade
💔🙏✝
Seatbelts in busses ? Never
A seatbelt won’t help prevent someone from hitting the window next to their head. Also did your school bus have them?
Where in Florida?
Ocala Marion County
the driver is migrant too
All need to be seen by ICE.
Translators should help
Ban these deadly vehicles NOW
That’s next year’s plan.
??????????
@@user-mr3ct1dm9p same reaction I get when they want to ban guns too because some mentally ill person wants to commit mass murder with a gun
💙🙏
I never took Spanish lessons , but I know basic Spanish here in Ohio
La Migra was coming, driver panicked
🙄
i WANNA HEAR MORE ABOUT THE POLICE PURSUIT ALLEDGED TO HAVE HAD A ROLE IN THE CRASH
I WANNA HEAR MORE ABOUT THE ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION THAT HAD A ROLE IN THE CRASH
What?? Edit: If that’s true, we’ll hear it.
Fake news, there was no pursuit. All the police entities running lights and sirens was to get on scene to provide aid.
@@craiglist187Non USA citizens have been coming to America with work visas for 100 years. You are ignorant
@@rayray4192 since 1924 eh,? Youre ignorant if you believe they werent illegal aliens who border jumped and the farmer applied for work visas to illegally retain them wuthout fines. But no one ever said you were smart
😢
Blam the cops, defund police
Cheap labor can be deadly
So sad 😢
30 ambulances.
Any body notice we didn’t hear much about either driver just migrants? Just a thought prayers to all.
Driver is a white guy called Bryan Howard he was drunk behind the wheel in case you didn’t know
Illegal aliens. Was the driver legal to drive?
Poor Flaco
It doesn’t help that the person that caused the accident doesn’t have a Driver’s license.
What about the bus driver
Cue the right wing in speaking of this event as a positive…
I guess there’s some open jobs now. Maybe they can hire American citizens this time
Do you know any farms that pay minimum wage? Asking for a friend.
I have been in this area my whole life. This is a busy road with very dangerous drivers, people driving to Ocala from surrounding areas to work and passing other cars like a video game. FHP only patrols the 4 lane section of West 40 because I guess it’s easier to get speeders than on the 2 lane section. I can’t tell you how many head-on collisions I’ve almost been in over the years on that road.
Sh** happens
Farm workers means illegals.
I thought farm workers were also referred to as farmland owners. farm workers? language barrier? not sure which farm they were headed to? They work for a different farm daily? migrant workers? sub contractors on work visa?
Sounds like the world leader in human trafficking just had an accident too big to ignore in my opinion. Simply because all these questions could have answers in like 30 minutes by anyone with a phone and an IQ of 57. When they come up with a government approved lie then we will hear about this again. See they need this time to read all the comments to inspire a good believable lie for us.
These buses are common in Florida. They transport farm workers not land owners. How do you think produce is picked? By American citizens making $15 hour? Come on man. You know America is built off the backs of migrants for cheap labor so we can have goods we can afford.
So many ignorant, hateful commenters here. These migrant workers were human beings.
They have no humanity behind a screen
Thinking about the Woody Guthrie song “Deportees”…
Reporter mentioned visas. Unconfirmed and likely a lie.
Farmworkers means illegal immigrants
Duh don’t be sped 😊
American Farms have always been filled with foreign workers. This is not new nor should it be shocking that we aren’t paying American citizens $15 an hour to pick out fruit.
Florida doesn’t hire illegal migrants these people had a right to be here, either work visas or citizens.
Wow…. Rest In Peace to the victims how terrible
Weather has been really bad lately, with tornadoes, also there are always people speeding and some bad drivers in the area.. especially early morning and late at night, surprising how there’s never cops around either or not in key areas, sucks to see nasty comments about “illegals” when these people are hard working people on work visas
Prayers for all families 🙏
Prayers don’t do nothing and everyone knows that.
My conspiracy theory is that Ron DeSantis had something to do with that. Just saying.
🙏❤️
How much you want to bet it was distraction or fatigue that caused this crash.
I heard that there was a police chase with the pick-up that caused the bus to crash. Nothing is mentioned about that part on the news..yet?
Father in Jesus name. Bring you blessings to this situation dealing with this Bus crash. Bring your healing blessings to all the people taken to the hospital. And bring blessings to the family’s . Of those that did not make it. And pour out your love 💕 on each. In Jesus Name Amen 🙏.
Language barrier? MS media never ceases to amaze me w/their comical comments
A language barrier in Central Florida 😂 what language is it if it’s Spanish then English is the second language there
It’s very heartbreaking 💔
Praying for all the victims 🙏🙏🙏
Did you clowns saying this was a police chase even watch the entire video? Typical, read the headline and make stuff up.
I.C.E need to investigate this farm to make sure there following the law.
Which farm do you know pays minimum wage?
So illegal aliens died in a bus. Maybe if they weren’t here illegal they might have not died js
(Rode the school bus to and from school for an hour each way for six years so I know) The reason bus’s don’t have seatbelts is your supposed to slam into the cushioned back of the seat in front of you ,but they never mentioned what happens in a side swipe!
God bless these poor people,prayers co.fort fla.ga.gal.❤❤❤
Awful situation. So many people involved. 😧
Alot of losers on here that is just Pathetic calling these men cheap Labor. Please by all means you go Volunteer the time to do the work that literally no one wants to do. You can tell the people who say “cheap Labor” dont understand how this work, these guys arent really cheap they are actually quite expensive and proficiant in a line of work that no one wants. i was raised in Marion country, i seen these hard working people my whole life. They help keep the wheels spinning for Marion counties Ag industry but you wouldent no nothing about that since your minds are so limited to the thought of cheap labor and a Job you wouldent do yourself.
Should have stayed in their country
Most of the industrial agriculture farms in Florida are owned and operated by Republican or even Maga owners and operators and pretty much all of these companies employ immigrant labor . Thats why Most of these Farmers and their constituents like other food companies that rely on those many types of produce as well as lobbyists were angry at Desantis for the E verify bill. Of course since then Desantis had to assuage many of that corporate farming anger by assuring them they could still have their immigrant labor without repercussions. But it seems you might be rooting against your own team. Here’s your sign 🐪🥸
@@ABitefLife send them back
@@LuiguiLLM I’ll get right on it there Sparky
Más información acerca de la persecución policial que llevó a este accidente
If the pickup driver was MAGA, you know this was no accident.
🙏🙏
While the loss of life is tragic, the loss of people who are willing to actually WORK is that much worse! Prayers and God Speed to these great people.
I appreciate the hard work ethic and contributions of White folks in America. True legends
Buses are common. Rain in Florida is common. Bilingual citizens in Florida is common. My prayers go out to the families of those who died, and to those who may have injuries that will make it impossible to work for pennies in conditions that most of us would walk away (or just collapse until someone helped me straighten out right after my knees exploded and my back gave out 15 minutes in.)
I pray for all of us.
One Venegas 😂😂😂😂😂 Learn to pronounce it!
fake news doestn mention that it was caused by the chase,,,
People drinking too much Florida Punch.

What city in Florida?
SR 40 in Ocala FL
R.I.P. 🙏
I HOPE WHO EVER WAS INVOLVED IN THIS HORRIFIC ACCIDENT GETS SUED., BECAUSE LANGUAGE SHOULD NOT BE A BARRIER FOR JUSTICE…
This is very common in Florida. We have a lot of agriculture land and plenty of workers from other countries that travel to different farms via bus
I couldn’t figure out why I had to do a detour in such a weird spot and come to find out it was due to this accident
So what because they where farm workers we dont get any names. How disrespectful
They may not have had time to notify all the families, or even identify everyone.
Don’t be such a goof.
It looks like an illegal alien bus !! Then I just heard it yup it was a bus load of illegal aliens here in the last 3 & a half years there’s been more so called workers with Visa’s in my 60 years of life….
This is great NBC can’t even show their own show trial.
It’s all a scam.
you get quality of driver you pay for. capitalism pushed quality down until collapse
🙏🙏🙏
Farm workers in a prison bus
All I need to know
I’ve ridden on these old school buses while picking cucumbers and oranges in California. Just like when the schools owned them, there’s no seat belts or air bags. The buses would pick us up every morning on the same street corner, where all the migrants, legal and illegal and a few American residents would gather waiting for day jobs. Yes, I’m white and I worked beside immigrants in the fields and orchards. It kind of debunks that tired old lie that illegals only do work that Americans won’t do!
So sad all of those innocent lives lost, RIP and blessings and comfort to the families of those lost. Also if you ever need to communicate there are plenty of good translators available and most of them free so feel free to check them out and use them.
Farm workers? Or Migrant or illegals? Come on NBC try and be accurate with your information. Are these legal migrants or illegals. REAL journalist would be interested but apparently you are not.
Illegal invaders. Karma is a B.
Pickup driver was probably on the phone.
So illegal aliens had a crash is what you are saying so if they wasn’t illegally here then they would be ok…..karma
Looks like the pickup truck might have caused the crash but more data is needed
Please do your research. Farms contract these workers through H2A visas which was expanded under former President Trump to help growers find much needed employees who are contracted from 80 countries. They are usually away from their families for 9 months. This is true is many other fields like landscaping and construction. The amount of ignorance concerning peoples legal status when they have no idea how labor on farms work. This is legal. Has been since 1986.
The ignorant people are brainwashed by politics that paints everyone as illegals and terrible bad people. So sad.
Que pesar 🙁
Illegal immigrants should be more careful, this wouldnt havr happened if they were still in their home country. Crime doesnt pay…
They were all here on temporary work visas. But of course brown skin means illegal right?
@@novuspatriarch show us the visas? News says illegal…
@@craiglist187 No news says work visas. New article came out just over an hour ago. Truck driver arrested and everyone in the truck was here legally.
@@novuspatriarch no, they were illegal and the narrative is being sold. Either way, thats eight less illegals and eight line generations eliminated from the USA.
@craiglist187 Your a pos. May God have mercy on your soul.
This is so sad. They come to take care of their families.
I mean, this isn’t the most ideal way to deal with illegals, but here we are.
Biden lost some voters today heading to farm watermelon
Rest in peace those who have passed.
Taco salad😂
Just a random head on pickup? No other info? What a half assed report.
Florida man guzzles his way into national limelight.
What is going on in Florida these days?! Is the state run by the GOP? 😇
Dang. Gotta order more cheap labor from the border now.
Language barrier? No law enforcement officers speak Spanish in FLORIDA!?? Riiiiiiiight
2024 and still no seatbelts on buses??? Human race is pathetic.
Let me correct the liberal newscaster…..”filled with illegals.”
Language barrier, seriously?! Do they speak Cantonese?
Illegals
Who was driving the bus
Who’s paying the hospital bill
It’s called H2A visas that was expanded under Trump. They are not illegal. Farmers use this visa to contract workers from over 80 countries. These worker stay in our country for several months out of the year when it’s crop season and then they return home. It’s been going on since 1986. Shocking that you don’t know this…
So how many yt Americans are lining up to take their jobs???
