Eight dead, 45 injured after bus bringing foreign workers to watermelon farm crashes into pickup truck
At least eight people died and dozens more were injured when a bus carrying ‘migrant workers’ crashed in Florida on Tuesday, according to reports.
The tragedy unfolded at around 6:30 a.m. in Marion County near Ocala.
A large bus carrying roughly 53 workers to a watermelon farm collided with a pickup truck in a “sideswiping manner” for “reasons to be determined” and rolled over after leaving the pavement, Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) told local media.
Eight passengers have been declared deceased at the time of this writing, while 45 more were hospitalized, at least eight of whom were in critical condition.
The Marion County Sheriff’s Office immediately quashed rumors that the wreck involved a local school bus or students.
SR-40 will be closed for an extended period of time, according to FHP.
InfoWars will monitor this story as it develops.
