Hillsborough, N.C. — A bus containing 20 Hispanics, some illegal, was pulled over Wednesday afternoon at a way station near the merger of Interstate 40 and Interstate 85, Highway Patrol spokesman Lt. Everett Clendenin said.

The bus, traveling from Wilson to Mexico, was stopped for a minor traffic violation at mile marker 143, Clendenin said.

The Highway Patrol had been made aware by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration that illegal immigrants were being taken to certain destinations in the country, Clendenin said. The bus orignally was believed to be apart of that group.
