Seventeen people were taken to hospitals Tuesday when a school bus collided with a Subaru Outback near Kedzie Avenue and 31st Street in Little Village.
Seventeen people were hospitalized Tuesday after a bus carrying a group of children with special needs collided head-on with an SUV in Little Village.
The bus was headed north on Kedzie Avenue when it crashed into a southbound Subaru Outback about 10:15 a.m. near 31st Street.
The students were headed on a field trip, according to a spokesperson for Sunrise, a bus company hired by Chicago Public Schools. The Sunrise spokesperson didn’t immediately know which school the students attended.
“We don’t have any information on how it happened but it looked like somebody was moving at a pretty good clip,” a Chicago Fire Department spokesman said at the scene.
The drivers of the bus and the car were taken in serious to critical condition to Mount Sinai Hospital, officials said.
Ten students between 16 and 18 years old were also hospitalized and were reported in good condition, authorities said. The students were taken to St. Anthony Hospital and Stroger Hospital.
Adults on board the bus were also hospitalized and were reportedly in good condition, according to a fire spokesperson.
Witnesses told authorities the car was moving left of the median line, the spokesperson said.
The driver of the car was ticketed for operating an uninsured vehicle and driving on a revoked license, Chicago police said.
