Language barrier hurts bus crash probe – Arkansas
Tagged: Arkansas, children, hospital, Mexico, policePosted on: November 27th, 2007
The investigation of a deadly passenger bus crash along a rain-soaked highway in eastern Arkansas was hindered by a language barrier between state police and the victims, who were primarily Latino, authorities said Monday.
Three people died in the late-night crash — a Mexican citizen and a naturalized U.S. citizen from Mexico who were bus passengers, and the driver of a pickup the bus collided with.
At least 19 others were hospitalized, including three children. Several were in serious or critical condition.”*
