At least three people are dead and 14 others seriously injured after a Greyhound bus struck multiple commercial vehicles parked on an exit ramp on Interstate 70 in Illinois, authorities said.
Illinois State Police Troop 8 units responded to a report of a crash on I-70 westbound at the Silver Lake Rest Area in Madison County at 1:54 a.m. local time Wednesday after the bus crashed into three commercial vehicles, ISP said in a statement on Facebook.
“Three fatalities are confirmed and multiple others were taken to a hospital with serious injuries,” ISP said in the statement. “No one in the commercial motor vehicles were injured.”
Four of the injured victims were transported to the hospital by helicopter and at least 10 people were taken by ambulance, ISP said.
