Fatal Bus Crash Near Osseo Click Here For Video!
A New York man is in jail after a fatal bus crash near Osseo.

It happened around 7 o’clock Friday morning. The State Patrol says Miguel Mateus was driving a private bus on I-94 just outside Osseo. Troopers say he slammed the bus into the back of a semi-truck and spun out of control. The bus then plowed over the median and hit a minivan heading in the opposite direction.

There were several people in the minivan, including two children, ages four and eleven. The passenger, an elderly man, was killed. Three of the people in the mini-van were taken to Luther Hospital in serious condition, but later released.

There were also five people in the bus. The State Patrol says some of them were treated for minor injuries, including the driver.

The State Patrol says after the bus’s driver was released from Luther Hospital, he was arrested for homicide by negligent operation of a vehicle. [more]
