St. John the Baptist Parish, LA (NBC News) – Two people were killed and dozens more were injured after a speeding rental bus carrying construction workers crashed into a fire truck at the scene of an earlier crash on a Louisiana highway Sunday, state police said.
The 7:17 a.m. crash on Interstate 10 westbound in St. John the Baptist Parish threw three firefighters over a guardrail, sending them plummeting 30 to 40 feet into water below, state police said.
St. John the Baptist Parish Fire Chief Spencer Chauvin, 36, died, and a passenger in another car that was also struck was killed, Louisiana State Police spokeswoman Melissa Matey said. Three others in the car that was struck were injured, one of whom was in critical condition.
“This is a very sad day for all first responders in Louisiana,” Louisiana State Police Superintendent Col. Mike Edmonson said in a statement. “Our thoughts and prayers are with the St. John the Baptist Fire Department.”
Authorities planned to charge the bus driver, Denis Yasmir Amaya Rodriguez, 37, with two counts of negligent homicide, reckless operation and other crimes, Matey said. Additional charges were expected.
She said that Rodriguez, a Honduran national, was in the country illegally and was driving without a license.

Get them out of here Trump!
Nothing to do with his background at all. He simply was not a good bus driver that the Government allowed to get behind the wheel. The Government IS supposed to protect us right?
What a perfect example of a guest of obama and Killary's! NOT
Thanks again, Barack. And you, too, Hillary. You can carve another notch.
Can you prove intent?
Gov't cant prevent everything.
6:02...your utter stupidity is mindboggling.
Imagine that! Illegal immigrant, without a license because to get one requires testing and documentation, causes an accident and fatalities of innocent genuine citizens.
You own this one Obama.

..They have convinced us that illegals citizens have rights that trump ours.
Let me modify your statement 6:27. We have Trump to right ours!
Hello People! It's not just the government's fault; the rental company rented him the bus with no proof of having a driver's license. I though that was the first thing they ask for when renting a vehicle and then of course insurance.

Where did it state that the bus company rented him the bus? Someone else could have rented the bus. Hopefully they made sure they had a license to drive it.
They better not let that guy out on bail because he will damn sure disappear.
