1 dead, 22 hurt when wrong-way car collides with bus in Chicago
One person was killed and 22 others injured when a car driving the wrong way down a Chicago thoroughfare collided with a city bus Sunday morning.
A Dodge Journey SUV was heading southbound in the northbound lane of Lake Shore Drive just before 6 a.m. when it slammed head-on into the bus, authorities said.
The car burst into flames, and the front end of the bus was left crumpled.
The car’s male driver and two female passengers were hospitalized in critical condition, but one of passengers later died, officials said.
It remains unclear why the car was driving in the wrong lane.
Police said 12 bus passengers and the bus driver were taken to the hospital “with unknown injuries and or conditions.”
The other seven injured passengers declined medical treatment, the Chicago Fire Department said.
