#BreakingNews #Florida #crash
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
God rest the souls who passed away just trying to make a living -8 doves 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
Mercy me. You never know when your last day is on the earth. Live and Love as deep as you can. ❤
True
💗💗💗💗
Oh my goodness, this is so sad 🥺 Prayers for those who are injured and suffering, and for those families who lost loved ones 🙏😞
No seat belts on buses? Ralph!!!
Exactly
A language barrier? Use Google translate really?
Exactly ! Also it’s Florida so Everyone speaks Spanish!!! Duh 🙄 These newscasters sound more Stupid all the time now!
You think cops can think on the spot? They do reports, poorly.
As if only a few people in Florida speak Spanish 😂
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.
Wow…. Rest In Peace to the victims how terrible
Just a random head on pickup? No other info? What a half assed report.
Sad 😔 😟
Farm workers already have it hard enough....
Prayers 🙏 for their families @ this time
Difficult times for sure. Whos going to send US dollars back to Mexico now?
@craiglist187
It's clearly the fault of the company, the employer. No seatbelts and reckless driver.
Let us pray the company is sued & they are* able to send money to grieving families.
🙏 😇
@@TwinFalls88 the employer has no obligation to put seatbelts in a vehicle originally manufactured without them, the moral of the story here is dont come to USA illegally and the other is dont drink and drive. Should have been farm workers in Mexico
@@craiglist187
Who would you prioritize first ?
Your own family, or just stay put in "own country" ?
Basically, your analysis is wrong in that you blame individuals. Whereas the truth is - policies* are what's the problem.
If you don't like immigration, then blame the policies* and people that make them. Not the poor people doing the best they can.
@craiglist187
Are you going to tell the to the North Koreans too?
Just stay in own country? Lol.
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.
This is so sad. They come to take care of their families.
Prayers out
🙏Amen🙏
Prayers don’t do nothing and everyone knows it.
@mikeh6084 what did your comment do?
@@GruvisMutt tell the truth
@@GruvisMutt told the truth that you can’t handle
Awful situation. So many people involved. 😧
I lived in Thailand, and crashes like this happened every week. Thais are some of the worst drivers I have ever seen. They have no idea what defensive driving means. I have had drivers who pass cars on blind corners, drive the wrong way on a one way street, speeding down the shoulder to pass someone and go far into the wrong lane to turn a corner.
Yeah, in Peru, Mexico and of course here in Florida too
You are right- Same as in Pakistan, India, the Balkans, Africa especially, and on and on - No joke. This is rarely even any type of news overseas - HOWEVER... THAT IS BECAUSE WE HAVE SPENT A LOT OF MONEY ON ROADS AND SAFETY, and when this happens which is RARE, it is big news here in the USA.
Prayers for all families 🙏
Prayers don’t do nothing and everyone knows that.
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?
Praying for their souls, and families 🙏
😪🙏🙏🙏
They need an ambulance not prayer.
I HOPE WHO EVER WAS INVOLVED IN THIS HORRIFIC ACCIDENT GETS SUED., BECAUSE LANGUAGE SHOULD NOT BE A BARRIER FOR JUSTICE...
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.
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.
And the cop chase that caused the accident is being ignored surprise surprise
Can’t even find it on RUclips. Was that information confirmed through a news station. I’d like to see it if possible.
How did a cop cause this? What's your source?
source? you probably dont have one. 🤣
The bus side swapped a ford pickup truck then crashed meaning it was the bus drivers fault not the cops.
If you cannot provide a source, your comment becomes moot young man.
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
That bus holds 40?
Yes... a school bus can hold approximately 50 adults (2 to a seat) or 70 kids (3 to a seat).
i dont think so i could be wrong
@@Harvick29ism my bad. It didn't look like a full size bus from the angle.
😢O NO 😢 PRAYERS FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED
R.I.P. 🙏
Rest in peace those who have passed.
(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!
Did you clowns saying this was a police chase even watch the entire video? Typical, read the headline and make stuff up.
A language barrier in Central Florida 😂 what language is it if it's Spanish then English is the second language there
Florida man guzzles his way into national limelight.
Wouldn't have guessed a ford ranger would win a game of chicken with a bus
Its a ford flucking ranger🤷🤣
So sad 😢
Language barrier? MS media never ceases to amaze me w/their comical comments
This happened here in Indiana too on I-74 yesterday.
And?
@@DavidStella just thought it was ironic? What’s your problem?
@@VulcanRedux that is not irony, it's coincidence.
@@DavidStella There is No such thing as coincidence. Everything happens for a reason. 🤝
@@VulcanRedux oh, you’re one of those… 🙄
Language barrier? No law enforcement officers speak Spanish in FLORIDA!?? Riiiiiiiight
Looks like the pickup truck might have caused the crash but more data is needed
Más información acerca de la persecución policial que llevó a este accidente
🙏😢
30 ambulances.
Pickup driver was probably on the phone.
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
😢
Que pesar :(
Who was driving the pickup? B.S news.
They gave the information they had at hand, that doesn't make them BS. Get your facts and information straight before lobbing insults out of ignorance.
Who was driving the bus
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
It doesn't help that the person that caused the accident doesn't have a Driver's license.
What about the bus driver
Rip
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
Where in Florida?
Ocala Marion County
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
What city in Florida?
SR 40 in Ocala FL
Language barrier, seriously?! Do they speak Cantonese?
In Florida special in Miami Dade Florida the bus driver put More than 155 passengers on bus
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?
Miami Dade bus charge the public bus with more than 155 passengers, Miami Dade gourvement doesn't care about it
Who's to blame
Who is the current installed puppet...
@br0k3ndadThey're here on work visas u racist
The company is. No seatbelts in bus. These companies are making a killing, literally, via migrant slave labor and then selling to consumer at exorbitant rate compared with crumbs they give workers to produce .
Should pay up to the victim's families or get sued.
Illegal Mormon eskimos
@antonio Doesn't matter the method, but the result.
That dangerous,dangereux
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 🙏.
Poor Flaco
Did he just say language barrier was a problem? They speak Spanish it’s Florida…..
It’s very heartbreaking 💔
Praying for all the victims 🙏🙏🙏
My conspiracy theory is that Ron DeSantis had something to do with that. Just saying.
fake news doestn mention that it was caused by the chase,,,
Sh** happens
People drinking too much Florida Punch.
Farm workers?
i.e. illegal aliens
@@jiggerblossomI.e. the same people that have been supplying your local supermarkets produce for decades so you don’t have to pay astronomical fees and pay an American to do it for $15 hour
@@Marleylucyandme strange that I'm paying astronomical prices in spite of them.
@@jiggerblossom yup we all are paying more for everything every year for the last thousands of years. Price of production and shipment will continue to increase overtime. Could you imagine how much more food/material goods would cost if we had to pay an American to do the job? Why do you think we exploit other countries for production and labor? It’s the bottom line dollar. And sorry to break it to you but American farms are built on the backs of foreigners. Some have permission to work on the farms. Some work illegally. Who do you think is improving our bridges, roads, and infrastructure? Who do you think builds homes, buildings, commercial units? Who are the roofers? Who are the maintence workers? Who is going to fill up our auto repair facilities while the techs retire out?
The mass migration into America has a purpose and it’s all labor related. The real problem is that we have many body count shortages across low skill low wage positions.
@@Marleylucyandme so basically you're saying Americans are too lazy to do manual labor, and "immigrants" are relegated to picking crops like pre-Civil War slaves.
So how many yt Americans are lining up to take their jobs???
I never took Spanish lessons , but I know basic Spanish here in Ohio
😢😭💔💔💔💙🙏🙏🙏
🙏🏾🙏🏾

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…
💔🙏✝
Cheap labor can be deadly
They are carrying people on the bus as sadines
We need common sense bus reform now!
Texas praying for all.
Filled with.. "farm workers"? Was one of these "farm workers" also driving?
This is an awful accident but, something is fishy.
My first thoughts exactly
You're reaching for nothing. You lack empathy, and of course you're trying to make it sound like immigrants are bad drivers when crashes happen regardless of who's behind the wheel.
Truck driver could've been texting.
@@queencerseilannister3519 do you know that? I know lots of Americans who can't look away from their phone when driving.
Typical American making everything political. Jesus Christ you all have zero empathy.
🙏🙏
🙏🙏🙏
If the pickup driver was MAGA, you know this was no accident.
Special in Miami Dade
Thinking about the Woody Guthrie song "Deportees"...
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
I.C.E need to investigate this farm to make sure there following the law.
Which farm do you know pays minimum wage?

“Farm workers” 🧐
Well you don't think white people in florida are going to go pick produce do you?
I guarantee that bus was over capacity too.
Yes farm workers. Migrants most likely illegal or on a workers visa. All employed bye so called farmers that never do anything but tell a bunch of underpaid workers what to do. Farmers that live in a red state that have been voting republican for the last 50 years.
Illegal immigrants
@@donnawilde9923 ASSumption
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.
Dang. Gotta order more cheap labor from the border now.

La Migra was coming, driver panicked
What is going on in Florida these days?! Is the state run by the GOP? 😇
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.
😪🙏🙏🙏
She looks like that catch me ousside girl
Sub-contract 😂
