This morning's collision involving a school bus and two Jeep vehicles near Wadsworth left one person dead and several others injured. The accident took place at the intersection of Route 173 and Kilbourn Road, close to Newport Elementary School, as the bus was en route to drop off students. According to reports, the school bus failed to stop at a red light and was struck broadside by an open-top Jeep Wrangler. The force of the impact caused the bus to topple over and collide with a Jeep Cherokee parked nearby.
By the time emergency responders arrived, all the children had already been evacuated from the bus. A third alarm was raised for additional EMS support, and multiple ambulances were dispatched to the scene. Some of the children were transported to Advocate Condell Hospital in Libertyville by ambulance, while others were safely transferred to the same hospital via another school bus accompanied by paramedics and emergency vehicles. Fortunately, despite the severity of the crash, most of the children sustained only minor injuries. However, a 3rd Alarm EMS team was still called in, and a Flight-For-Life helicopter was deployed to the area, though no patients were airlifted.
The driver of the Jeep Wrangler, unfortunately, did not survive the crash. Local authorities described the scene as chaotic but managed efficiently by first responders. The children involved are receiving care and assessment at the hospital, with updates expected soon. Meanwhile, photos taken by Tim Olk at the scene capture the aftermath of the devastating event, highlighting both the severity of the collision and the swift response of emergency services.
