A couple of elementary school kids are sent to the hospital Tuesday morning after a car hits their school bus on the way to school.

24-year-old Viridiana Ybarra-Rason allegedly struck the back of a school bus with 27 children aboard just after 8:30 Tuesday morning near 32 and E roads. The Clifton Fire Department checked out the kids – one had a fat lip and another a hurt knee – both minor injuries. The Fire Department said that no kids were seriously hurt.

The school called parents to notify them about the accident and sent letters home with the students involved.

Ybarra-Rason was ticketed for careless driving and driving without a valid driver license.

You know I am so sick of hearing about all these illigals. If you knew anything about history you would realize that Mexicans aren't the only illigals here. And the reason you only hear about all the Mexicans (Illigals) in the news is because the media fails to report any instances dealing with the white people. If it wasn't for all the Mexicans in this Country who would do all the low paying jobs that none of you so called Americans won't do. I think people really need to start to realize that it's not only the illigals who are causing all of the problems in this society it's raciest people who are the root of all the problems.

What is it going to take for America to get rid of illegals that cause problems? I'm tired of having them hurt our communities. And THEY call us racists.

If she is here illegally, why was she driving a car that you can bet wasn't hers? Clifton is getting very famous for illegals. I know cause I moved from there for that reason.

Please tell me why you left out the important detail that the driver who hit the bus is not American, but a Mexican citizen. Is she also here illegally?
