CTA bus crashes into parked car, residential building after car hits it during Jefferson Park hit-and-run
A CTA bus was hit by a car that ran a stop sign late Saturday night in Jefferson Park, causing the bus to crash into parked cars and a house, according to Chicago police.
The bus was heading north in the 5500 block of North Central Avenue at 10:40 p.m. Saturday when it was hit in the front driver’s side by a black sedan going east on West Catalpa Avenue that didn’t stop at a stop sign, police said.
The impact caused the bus to hit a parked car, a fence and eventually a house. The driver later left the scene.
The 46-year-old bus driver was taken to a nearby hospital where she was listed in fair condition with a laceration to the head, police said.
No passengers were on the bus at the time of the crash, and no other injuries were reported.
The Chicago Fire Department reported the house sustained structural damage and five residents were displaced as a result of the damage, police said.
No one is in custody and the crash remains under investigation.
