DEVELOPING STORY: A number of illegal aliens tried to hijack school buses filled with elementary and middle school students in San Diego County.
In an emailed notice to families obtained by FOX 5/KUSI, Superintendent Liz Bystedt said a group of migrants attempted to board along the district’s A and B school bus routes.
One of the buses swerved after illegals blocked a roadway. Another bus was surrounded by some 20 illegals. Parents helped the driver of the bus get away. No children were injured.
As the investigation proceeds, Bystedt added that “for the safety of students and bus drivers” buses will drive past stops with migrants nearby, heading directly to the next one on the route.
“Please stay [vigilant] and if the bus drives by, please follow the bus to pick up your child at the next stop,” she told families in the emailed notice.
Border Patrol and the sheriff’s office were notified of the attempted hijackings.
“The San Diego Sheriff’s Office was made aware of this incident today. We are conducting a follow up investigation to determine if a criminal act has occurred. The Sheriff’s Office takes issues regarding student safety very seriously and are working with the school district in order to keep the students and our community safe,” Kimberly King with the Sheriff’s Department told FOX 5/KUSI in a statement.
