REVEALED: Hermanio Joseph, 35, the migrant who caused Ohio school bus accident that killed 11-year-old Aiden Clark and injured 26 other students was previously caught and released at US border

A Haitian man accused of causing a bus accident that killed an 11-year-old boy and injured more than 20 other students was previously arrested and released at the US border.

Hermanio Joseph, 35, was driving with an invalid driver’s license when his Honda Odyssey minivan swerved over the center line and collided with a Northwestern Local Schools bus on Troy Road in Lawrenceville, Ohio, on Aug. 22.

The vehicle, which had no seat belts, fell off the side of the roadway along an embankment and overturned.

Aidan Clark was thrown from the bus and was pronounced dead at the scene. Another student suffered serious life-threatening injuries and 26 children sustained minor injuries. They were all taken to hospital for treatment.

Joseph appeared in court on August 28, charged with fourth-degree vehicular murder. His bail was set at $100,000 and was held at the Clark County Jail.

If convicted, Joseph faces six to 12 months in prison and a fine of up to $5,000, according to court documents.

The bus was driven by 68-year-old Alfred Collier and was carrying 52 students on board before the crash.

Joseph and his passenger, Roberto Mompremier, 37, suffered non-life-threatening injuries and were taken to hospital for treatment.

He showed a Mexican driver’s license to Ohio State Highway Patrol officers at the scene, but it was invalid due to his immigration status.

Joseph is registered as a Haitian immigrant in the state of Florida and an Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesperson confirmed that he arrived at the US-Mexico border in August 2022.

The Department of Homeland Security has called for him to appear in federal immigration court before he was released under the Biden administration’s border policy.

“This group’s assessment will be thorough and focus on many different aspects of transportation safety.”

Clark’s obituary reads: ‘(H)is desire to acquire knowledge never ceased, and his strange interests were inspiring and endless.

The children injured in the crash have all been released from hospital.

An arrestee has been placed with Joseph by Immigration and Customs agents who have requested custody if he is released from the Clark County Jail.

The Biden administration began releasing migrants without court dates in March 2021 to alleviate overcrowding.

But Republican critics called the policy “catch and release.”
