More than a dozen students got taken to the hospital Friday after a school bus got into a crash with another vehicle in Chicago, authorities said. The crash went down before 8 a.m. near 111th and Pulaski on the city’s Southwest Side. Chicago fire officials confirmed that one adult and 17 minors got taken to area hospitals from the scene. All of those injured seemed to be in good condition, taken to numerous hospitals including Advocate Christ Medical Center, Little Company of Mary, and Holy Cross Hospital. It wasn’t immediately clear which school the bus belonged to and where it was heading.
One student spilled the tea, saying the bus driver had pulled over moments before the crash to chat with students who were yakking in the back. As the driver got back on the road, bam! The crash went down, according to Chabria Riley. “When we got to the intersection, a car came and hit her right on the side and that’s when everything happened,” Riley spilled. “We got pushed.”
Further details on the cause of the crash weren’t immediately released by authorities. Some students got picked up from the scene by parents.
