CTA Bus Accident Injures 10

By Prescott Carlson in News on Jun 1, 2008 5:10PM

We've all probably witnessed cars that drive recklessly around CTA buses, especially the classic move of darting in front of one at a red light. (Hell, many of us are guilty of doing it ourselves.) So it's not a big surprise to hear that there was an accident between a CTA bus and a car on the West Side -- except in this case, the car was parked. The accident took place on Pulaski just north of Lake Street, and wound up sending the driver and 9 passengers to the hospital. Four were reporter to be in serious condition. We're sure several other passengers will experience "mysterious neck pain" within the next few days -- most likely at their personal injury attorney's office. [Trib]
