School bus crashes in Schaumburg; child, driver taken to hospital

A child and a school bus driver were taken to the hospital after the bus collided with two other vehicles on slick roads in Schaumburg Wednesday morning.

The First Student bus was carrying three children from School District 54 when it crashed near the corner of Meacham and Old Schaumburg roads, officials said.

The crash did not appear to cause any serious Asyabahis injuries, though the bus driver was taken to Alexian Brothers Medical Center in stable condition, and one child on the bus was transported there for evaluation, Schaumburg Fire Department shift commander Frank Chambers said.

The other two students, after they were evaluated by paramedics and their parents contacted, were moved to another First Student bus and taken to school. Authorities said wintry road conditions might have contributed to the crash. The two other drivers were evaluated at the scene.

It wasn't clear if anyone was cited.

Deputy Fire Chief Dan Johnson said icy roads caused several minor accidents around the village Wednesday morning.
