==Cottonwood bus crash== {{main|Cottonwood, Minnesota bus crash}} On February 19, 2008, a minivan ran through a stop sign in Cottonwood and struck a bus carrying students from [[Lakeview Public Schools]], causing the bus to fall onto a pickup truck, killing four students and injuring 17 others. It was the deadliest school-bus related crash to occur in the state since 1997. The driver, Olga Franco del Cid, was later convicted of a total of 24 charges related to the crash and sentenced to 12 years in prison. The crash also fueled the [[Immigration reform in the United States|immigration debate]] in the US, due to Franco del Cid's [[illegal immigration]] status.<ref name=crashDeadly>{{cite news |author1=Dunbar, Elizabeth |author2=Steil, Mark |title=Four children dead, cause of bus crash still unclear |url=https://www.mprnews.org/story/2008/02/20/school |access-date=January 4, 2020 |work=[[Minnesota Public Radio]] News |publisher=[[American Public Media Group]] |date=February 20, 2008}}</ref><ref name=crashImmigration>{{cite news |last1=Post |first1=Tim |title=Fatal bus crash spurs immigration debate |url=https://www.mprnews.org/story/2008/02/26/fatal-bus-crash-spurs-immigration-debate |access-date=January 4, 2021 |work=Minnesota Public Radio News |date=February 26, 2008 |publisher=American Public Media Group}}</ref>
