A CTA bus struck a home in Chicago’s Jefferson Park neighborhood after a hit-and-run crash set off a dramatic series of events, police said. <\/p>\n
According to authorities, the crash happened just before 11 p.m. in the 5500 block of North Central Avenue. <\/p>\n
There, a black sedan traveling eastbound on Catalpa allegedly failed to stop at a stop sign and struck the bus on the driver’s side. The crash caused the bus driver to lose control of the vehicle, sending it into a parked car, then a fence and ultimately ending with the bus in the side of a residential building. <\/p>\n
The bus was being driven by a 46-year-old woman, who suffered a laceration to the head, police said. She was taken to an area hospital in fair condition. <\/p>\n
The driver of the sedan fled the scene before officers arrived, police said. <\/p>\n
No passengers were on the bus and no other injuries were reported, according to authorities. <\/p>\n
The building suffered structural damage and five residents were displaced. <\/p>\n
An investigation remained ongoing with no one in custody as of Sunday morning, police said. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A CTA bus struck a home in Chicago’s Jefferson Park neighborhood after a hit-and-run crash set off a…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":244326,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5124],"tags":[960,5462,5386,1818],"class_list":{"0":"post-244325","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-chicago","8":"tag-chicago","9":"tag-chicago-news","10":"tag-il","11":"tag-illinois"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115243360333088357","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/244325","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=244325"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/244325\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/244326"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=244325"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=244325"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=244325"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
