Rider pinned between van and school bus during horror rear-end crash

An illegal alien was arrested in South Carolina this week after he allegedly crashed a work van into a school bus and motorcycle, killing the rider, authorities say.

The horrifying wreck unfolded just after 7 a.m. on Monday morning in Lexington County.

A school bus with seven students onboard slowed to a stop to pick up more children, prompting a motorcyclist riding behind to halt, as well.

The driver of a van traveling in the same direction failed to slow down, slamming first into the motorcycle and then into the rear of the bus, pinning the rider in between, the Lexington Police Department (LPD) explained in a press release.

The motorcycle rider died at the scene and a student on the bus was hospitalized with an arm laceration.

The van driver was treated for minor injuries and arrested after authorities determined he was at fault in the crash.

He was identified as 20-year-old Giovanni Mendoza-Jimenez, a Mexican citizen who is illegally present in the U.S.
