10 students, 2 adults injured following 3-bus crash on I-55 in Channahon

It happened Tuesday morning on I-55 in Channahon

CHANNAHON, IL – 12 people were hurt after three school buses collided on the I-55 NB bridge over Des Plaines River on Tuesday, according to ABC 7.

The three Reed Custer Middle School buses were heading north in the right lane when traffic stopped. The driver in the back did not stop and rear-ended the bus in front of it, which in turn slammed into the back of the bus in front of it around 8:35 a.m.

First responders transported ten students and two teachers to area hospitals with minor injuries.

Tow trucks were called to the scene to clear the area around 10:30 a.m.

The crash caused traffic to back up for a couple of miles.

Authorities charged the driver that caused the collision with failure to reduce speed to avoid a crash.

Crews had all lanes reopened by 12:30 p.m.

The incident is under investigation by the Illinois State Police.
