CHICAGO (CBS) — Fourteen people were injured Wednesday evening in a crash involving two cars and a CTA bus in the Washington Park neighborhood.
The accident happened at 60th Street and State Street. The Chicago Transit Authority said the No. 59 59th/61st Street bus was traveling south on State Street and approaching 60th Street when the two collided — and that’s when both hit the bus.
The Chicago Fire Department has called an EMS Plan 2, which is sending 20 ambulances.
Four people were taken to area hospitals in serious to critical condition, and one of those four was described as “very critical” by fire officials.
Ten others were taken to area hospitals in good condition.
