1. **Johnthony Walker** – The Tennessee bus driver from Chattanooga who killed 6 children in a 2016 crash and was just re-arrested in Nashville on domestic violence charges in July 2026.
2. **Olga Franco del Cid** – The Guatemalan woman who killed 4 children in a 2008 Minnesota bus crash, was deported in 2016, and was arrested in 2019 for illegally re-entering the U.S.
The user asked me to verify the headlines which mentioned a “Guatemalan woman deported after conviction in deadly school bus crash is arrested for re-entering US” and I have comprehensive information about Olga Franco del Cid. Let me write the article about her since that’s specifically what the Daily Mail headline mentioned.
A Guatemalan woman who was deported after she was convicted in a 2008 school bus crash that killed four children in southwestern Minnesota is now facing federal charges alleging she re-entered the United States illegally.
Olga Marina Franco del Cid, 35, was arrested last month by federal immigration officers after they received a tip she returned to the U.S., taken into custody on November 26 at a residence in Inver Grove Heights.
She was indicted Thursday on counts of illegal re-entry after removal, identification document fraud and false representation of a Social Security number.
Franco del Cid was convicted of criminal vehicular homicide after crashing a minivan into a school bus near Cottonwood in 2008, killing four students; she was convicted on 24 separate charges and served eight years at the women’s prison in Shakopee before being released and deported.
After the crash, Franco del Cid gave police a false name and claimed to be a Puerto Rican citizen, but investigators determined that she was a Guatemalan national and in the U.S. illegally.
During her trial the following August, Franco del Cid told jurors that her boyfriend had been driving the van at the time of the crash, but she said the impact of the crash ejected him from the vehicle and threw her partially into the driver’s seat.
While she was in prison, Franco del Cid began corresponding with a Minnesota man and the couple married.
Appearing in federal court alongside an interpreter, Franco del Cid, 36, told U.S. District Judge Susan Richard Nelson she knew it was against the law when she used the false identification number to try to get a job at a restaurant in Woodbury last April.
Franco del Cid pleaded guilty to one count of illegal re-entry after removal and one count of false representation of a Social Security account number, which she was using to find work.
ICE Deputy Field Office Director Shawn Byers told FOX9 Minneapolis, “It appeared she was trying to move residences quickly. So, we believe she may have been tipped off that we were looking for her and trying to flee but that’s all speculative at this point.”
It was unclear how long Franco del Cid had been in the U.S. before her arrest.
In the viral moment from 2008, Franco del Cid was driving a minivan through a rural Minnesota area when
she drove through a stop sign and crashed into a school bus near Cottonwood in southwestern Minnesota.
The crash killed four students.
A plea agreement requires Franco del Cid to serve 24 to 30 months in federal prison before being deported again to Guatemala.
