Normally, a non-injury rear-end collision wouldn't warrant a news story. But in an ironic twist, this crash involved a van full of illegal immigrants which slammed into an SUV owned by the Department of Homeland Security.

The Arizona Department of Public Safety said the Chrysler van was heading west Tuesday morning when it was involved in a three-vehicle chain-reaction crash near the Elliot Road off-ramp. Harold Sanders with DPS said, "the 11 illegal immigrants inside the van were turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement."

There were no reports of any injuries, despite the fact that the van was overloaded.

The passengers inside could have been moving targets for other vehicular danger. "The van was not designed to hold 11 people," Sanders said. "That's based on the amount of seat positions. I believe there were only two or three passenger seats."

Yeah, but it was a Federal vehicle, so it'll probably cost $70K (with the volume discount) to fix.

Well we can thank Bush for helping his buddies get no-bid government contracts for DHS.

And there were only eleven people in it?
