The Associated Press SAN JOSE A Greyhound bus driver said he was fa- tigued before the vehicle plowed into safety barrels on a Northern California highway and flipped on its side early Tuesday, killing two women and sending at least eight others to the hos- pital, authorities said. The driver, who was one of those sent to the hospi- tal, stopped for a caffeine jolt at the last stop before the wreck, about 30 miles south in Gilroy, according to the California Highway Patrol. "He stated that he did feel fatigued and that he did get some coffee in Gil- roy when he dropped off two passengers," CHP Offi- cer Chris Miceli said, add- ing that the cause of the crash is still under investi- gation. The bus carrying 20 pas- sengers hit the barrels and then rolled onto the cen- ter divider of Highway 101 in San Jose, a major com- muting thoroughfare, said Lanesha Gipson, a Grey- hound spokeswoman. One person suffered ma- jor injuries, and three oth- ers were moderately hurt, officials said. Several oth- ers had minor injuries and got patched up at the scene or were ferried to a hospital to be treated for cuts and bruises. The bus left Los Angeles at 11:30 p.m. Monday with stops planned in Gilroy, San Jose, San Francisco and Oakland, Gipson said. The driver began his shift in LA, and the company requires operators to rest nine hours between trips, she said. The driver was asked to submit a blood sample to test for alcohol and drugs, Miceli said. Prosecutors have been notified, which is a routine measure, he said. In addition to the CHP inquiry, the National Safety Transportation Board is sending a team of investi- gators, agency spokesman Eric Weiss said. After the bus rolled, a driver traveling south hit some of the debris, damag- ing the car but leaving the motorist uninjured, Miceli said. The wreck snarled a morning commute already slowed by rain, backing up northbound Highway 101 for several miles. Mario Mariscal was driving into work when he came across the crash and snapped a photo of the bus on its side on the median on the rain-slicked highway. "There was an over- whelming amount of emer- gency crews there," he said. "Everybody that went out there was definitely doing their job." Authorities have not re- leased the identity of the victims.

Offi ci al s: B us d ri ve r sa id h e was tired before fatal crash By Sergio Bustos The Associated Press NASHUA, N.H. Despite a growing pool of poten- tial Hispanic voters in the United States, driven largely by young people, Latinos are likely to be underrepresented at the polls in 2016, a study re- leased Tuesday has found. The Pew Research Cen- ter found that a record number of Hispanic vot- ers could head to the polls in November, topping the 11.2 million who voted in 2012, but that Hispanic millennials — who are driving growth in the population of Hispanic eligible voters_will keep turnout low. A majority of Hispanics, 52 percent, are too young to vote or are not U.S. citizens. The findings come from an analysis of Cen- sus Bureau data reviewed by the respected Pew Re- search Center. Only 48 percent of el- igible Hispanic voters cast a ballot in 2012, com- pared to 64 percent of white voters and 67 per- cent of black eligible vot- ers. That figure was even less for eligible Hispanic millennial voters, with only 38 percent casting a ballot in 2012, the report found. Mark Lopez, Pew's di- rector of Hispanic re- search, said the low turn- out is largely driven by geography. He said more than half of the nation's eligible Hispanic vot- ers, about 52 percent, are in California, Texas and New York — none of which are battleground states that can sway an election. "Hispanic voters in these states won't get as much attention, won't see as many campaign ads, as those in the battleground states of Florida, Nevada and Colorado," said Lo- pez, who noted that His- panics comprise 14 per- cent of all voters in each of those states. In other potential com- petitive states in the pres- idential race, including Virginia, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, Hispanic voters make up less than five percent of all voters. That's also true in the early voting and influ- ential states of Iowa (2.9 percent) and New Hamp- shire (2.1 percent), where Hispanic voters represent less than three percent of all voters. In its focus on young voters, the report found that Hispanic millennials register to vote at lower rates than other millen- nials. It noted that 50 percent of Hispanic mil- lennial eligible voters said they were registered to vote in 2012, compared with 61 percent among white millennials and 64 percent among black mil- lennials. The low turnout, said Lopez, could represent an opportunity for a group or candidate who can target these voters with a registration drive. Many candidates rec- ognize this potential and have seized on it. Repub- lican presidential candi- date Marco Rubio's cam- paign released an ad on YouTube Tuesday di- rected at all millenni- als. The ad features sev- eral young people talk- ing about their support for the 44-year-old Flor- ida senator, who speaks often about the need for "a new generation of lead- ership in Washington." Voter turnout among all Hispanics has been historically low. In 2012, a record 11.2 million His- panics voted, but 12.1 mil- lion did not vote. Still, voter eligibil- ity is on the rise among Hispanics overall, espe- cially those born in 1981 or later. Pew research- ers say this group could be the main force driv- ing growth among His- panic voters for the next two decades. More than 800,000 Latinos become eligible to vote each year, an overwhelming major- ity of whom are U.S.- born. Millennials account for nearly half, or 44 percent, of this year's record 27 million eligible Hispanic voters — "a share greater than any other racial or ethnic group of voters," Pew said. "The large footprint of Latino millennial voters reflects the oversized im- portance of youth in the U.S.-born Latino popula- tion," says the report. Pew researchers pre- dict Hispanic voters_as a percentage of all vot- ers_will grow to nearly 12 percent this year, pulling almost even with black voters, who comprise about 12.4 percent of all voters nationwide. STUDY Millennials drive rise of Hispanic voters in 2016 By Michael Biesecker and Will Weissert The Associated Press WASHINGTON Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz huddled with a bor- rowed shotgun in a Louisi- ana duck blind last week, his face smeared with black greasepaint. He was there to shoot a campaign video with Phil Robertson, the gray-bearded patriarch of reality TV's "DuckDynasty"clan.Theju- niorU.S.senatorfromTexas, donning camouflaged over- alls, is shown squeezing off a couple of rounds toward the gray sky. It was not im- mediately clear whether any ducks were harmed during the making of the ad. Looking into the camera, Robertson says his selection criteria for endorsing a can- didate include "would they kill a duck, put 'em in a pot and make 'em a good duck gumbo." "You're one of us, my man," he then tells Cruz. On Tuesday, Cruz's campaign announced a $700,000 ad buy to run the spot in Iowa during this weekend's NFL divisional championship games. Cruz has made the de- fense of Second Amend- ment rights a cornerstone of his presidential campaign, touting his past legal work fighting against gun con- trol laws. In his three years in the U.S. Senate, Cruz's voting record has earned an A+ rating from the Na- tional Rifle Association. Fi- ery criticism of President Barack Obama's efforts to tighten background checks for gun purchases is a sta- ple of Cruz stump speeches: The candidate quipped that back in Texas the term "gun control" means that you "hit what you're aiming at." But records suggest the 45-year-old politician's pas- sion for the issue emerged relatively recently in his life, coincidingwithhis ascent in Republican circles in Texas. In an autobiography pub- lished last year, Cruz re- counts how after he moved to Austin in 2003 to serve as the state's appointed so- licitor general, he became concerned about leaving his wife Heidi at home alone while he traveled. The cou- ple had previously lived in Washington, where each had jobs in the administra- tion of President George W. Bush. "Worried that an in- truder might come through the window, I placed a hatchet beneath our bed, and started to tell her to grab the hatchet if anything happened," wrote Cruz. "As I was saying this, it struck me ... this was stupid. Heidi is five-foot-two. The last thing I wanted was for my beau- tiful, petite wife to be try- ing to swing a hatchet at a large,menacingrobbercom- ing through the window." The next day, Cruz re- counts, he bought her a Smith & Wesson .357 Mag- num revolver to keep in the bedside table. According to his campaign, Cruz also owns a 12-gauge Beretta Sil- ver Pigeon shotgun for bird hunting, though a spokes- woman declined to disclose whenheboughttheweapon. The campaign also declined to say whether he holds a permit to carry a concealed firearm. According to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Depart- ment, Cruz purchased his first hunting license there in 2006, when he would have been 35 years old. He then bought licenses in three of the last 10 years — 2008, 2014 and 2015. Cruz's campaign said he purchasedaLouisianahunt- ing license before the recent video shoot with Robert- son, though the state's wild- life department refused last week to confirm that. Records from Iowa show he also bought licenses in 2013 and 2015 at the Hole N' the Wall Lodge, site of an annualpheasanthunthosted byhome-stateU.S.Rep.Steve King, typically attended by aspiring GOP presidential contenders. King has since endorsed Cruz and is now a national co-chairman of his campaign. At the most recent hunt in Iowa, a smiling Cruz posed for media photos with about two dozen dead fowl while wearing immaculate tan and orange hunting attire, a shotgun resting on his shoulder. The campaign's website also features a wide array of apparel targeted at hunt- ers, including camouflage T-shirts, safety-orange hats emblazoned with his name, and even "Camo Cruzie" drink holders. Earlier this month, Cruz's campaign raf- fled off a custom Remington 12-gauge shotgun engraved with his logo. Questions about whether Cruz is an active sportsman became a campaign issue during his 2012 run for the U.S. Senate in Texas. Dur- ing a televised debate,Cruz's Democratic opponent ques- tioned whether Cruz owned a gun and twice asked whether he was an avid hunter. Cruz responded that he was a gun owner, but de- clined to say how often he hunted. When pressed after- ward, he said the question was a distraction from the race's real issues. "He's been pretty forth- coming about saying he en- joys hunting but doesn't get to do it as often as he would like," Cruz campaign spokeswoman Catherine Frazier told The Associ- ated Press. "You don't have to have a hunting license to shoot guns." She added that Cruz vis- its shooting ranges pretty often. He held a campaign rally at an Iowa shooting range last month. "It's no secret that Sen. Cruz has been a passionate defender of the Constitution from a very early age," Fra- zier said. "He exercises his own right to bear arms reg- ularly and often, and he's very glad to live in a coun- try where he can do that." In boosting his bona fides as a foot soldier for the Sec- ondAmendment,Cruzoften cites his role in a 2008 court challenge to the District of Columbia's ban on private possession of most firearms in the nation's capital.
