Felony charges have been filed against a semi-truck driver accused of crashing into a bus transporting members of a Chicago high school hockey team, leading to more than a dozen injuries in the incident.
Ten others on the bus were uninjured, police said. All were taken by another school bus to Lutheran Kosciusko Hospital, where officers notified relatives, police said. The students are 14 to 17 years old.
The semi driver continued west and was stopped less than a mile away after driving off the road and into a ditch, police said. Police officers on the scene “detected a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage on his person and in the cab of the semi,” according to police. The driver, 58, from Brooklyn, N.Y. is still being held in custody. Further charges could potentially be filed, according to prosecutors.
