Nine people, including three children, were hospitalized when the van in which they were riding collided with another vehicle Saturday in Elgin, officials said.

Article left out:
Drivers have insurance?
Kids in car seats?
Drivers using seat belts?

Cops usually don't load on the violations when kids are hurt- like salt on the wound.

"The drivers, both of Elgin, were cited for driving without driver's licenses. Police are investigating, but officials said it does not appear alcohol was a factor."

Being El Elgin it was more likely "illegal immigrant" as the factor.

[Enough already]

Pretty typical stuff in Elgin. But they will show up as illegal in the 100% screening. Being a family, no deportation likely.
We're still working the courts on the three fatality van-train wreck in December of 2006.
No doubt about it, our government sucks!

Elgin, no license = Illegals. wtf is wrong w this country. these ppl should be on their way to guadalajara after they all recover. another hospital bill pd for by the taxpayer. and if the poor taxpayer's family gets sick or hurt do you think the illegal is there to help pay?? NO.

Exactly, we are the ones that are going to pay for their medical bills. Nice

[Dis the Politicians]

Good questions, JB.

Just plain sloppy reporting.

And why not? We already pay for all their other stuff like subsidized housing, food stamps, etc. So this is just one more thing! I guess we should feel honored!

So, which one ran the red light? Both drivers were cited for not having DRIVER'S LICENSE! Illegal aliens?

[coolwaters]

I also think that this type of van is not suited to hold nine people, maybe 7, but not 9

[Logical]

Nine people in one van? What in hell is going on here? Jeez!

Drivers had no licenses, and nine people crammed in a van, this has illegal aliens written all over it. But in sanctuary state Illinois, they were given tickets and sent on their merry way, no questions asked.

And will probably never show up in court.
