Closing arguments are over in the trial of a woman accused of driving the minivan that caused a fatal school bus crash near Cottonwood in February.

The jury in Willmar is expected to start its deliberations in the criminal vehicular homicide case against Olga Marina Franco Del Cid.

The 24-year-old woman faces four of the homicide charges and 20 more charges related to the crash that killed four children and injured sixteen others.

Franco's attorneys say in their closing statements that she wasn't driving the minivan, instead it was her boyfriend, Francisco S. Mendoza.

Mendoza is believed to be back in his native Mexico. The defense says his running away is a sign of his guilt.

Lyon County Attorney Rick Maes noted in his closing that the accident pinned Franco in the driver's seat and she had to extricated from the van.
