Lake County crash injures 3 after SUV strikes bus stop arm, several vehicles
BEACH PARK, Ill. — A crash in Beach Park sent three people to the hospital after an SUV struck a school bus arm before colliding with several vehicles on Tuesday morning. Lake County Sheriff's Deputies responded to the area of Sheridan Road and Michigan Boulevard on reports of a traffic crash with injuries at 8 a.m. A preliminary investigation shows a GMC Acadia, driven by a 74-year-old man, was traveling northbound on Sheridan Road, and for an unknown reason, struck the stop arm of a loading school bus. The GMC continued northbound and sideswiped a Ford Focus, driven by a 49-year-old man, causing the Ford Focus to crash into a utility pole, police say. According to police, the GMC then struck a Chevrolet Colorado, driven by a 39-year-old man, and a Ford Flex, driven by a 28-year-old woman. The children who were boarding the bus were not injured nor was the driver of the Ford Flex, police say. The driver of the GMC was transported to a local hospital in critical condition, and the drivers of the Ford Focus and Chevrolet Colorado were transported with serious but non-life-threatening injuries. Police believe the driver of the GMC might have suffered a medical episode prior to the crash. The Lake County Sheriff's Office Technical Crash Investigations Team is still investigating.
