This from Asher Heimermann:
According to Illinois State Police, two tractor-trailer trucks collided with a bus carrying developmentally disabled passengers Tuesday afternoon on the Dan Ryan Expressway at South 95th Street.
38 special needs adults were on the bus traveling from the Pilsen neighborhood to Robbins, according to Chicago Fire Department Media Affairs Director Larry Langford.
A red semi-truck lost control and ran off the roadway, striking a concrete wall, which caused the truck’s trailer filled with recycled paper to separate and strike the bus, police said.
The Chicago Fire Department activated an EMS Plan 2 for the crash.

The Countryside FPD requested a 2nd Alarm Hazardous Materials Box this morning after a truck trailer tipped over in Vernon Hills. The Daily Herald has this information:
A section of one of central Lake County’s busiest roads was shut down for several hours Wednesday, snarling morning rush-hour motorists, after a truck’s trailer tipped over in Vernon Hills.
No one was seriously injured in the 6:20 a.m. accident on Route 60 at Butterfield Road, said Batallion Chief Kevin Wodrich of the Countryside Fire Protection District.
The truck was pulling two trailers. One of the trailers tipped onto its side as the truck was turning from southbound Butterfield Road onto eastbound Route 60, Vernon Hills police said.
The Con-way Freight truck was hauling two 300-gallon tanks of potassium hydroxide and two 300-gallon tanks of phosphoric acid, the fire department said in a news release, and the tanks leaked. A hazardous-materials team stopped the leaks so workers could clean up the mess.
Tim Olk was at the scene and submitted several images.

Sad news reported by the Daily Herald, a second person has died as a result of injuries sustained at the multi-vehilce crash in Arlington Heights March 10th.
A second man has died from his injuries after a crash caused by a wrong-way driver in Arlington Heights on Monday. Anatoliy Elkind, 48, of Vernon Hills died at 5:07 p.m. Wednesday, said Arlington Heights Police Capt. Andrew Whowell. Elkind was critically injured in the five-car crash on Rand Road near Thomas on Monday afternoon. He was being treated in the ICU at Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville.
Police say the crash was caused by Stanley Ksiazek, 51, of Palatine, who was speeding in the wrong lanes of traffic. Ksiazek’s red pickup truck hit four cars before leaving the roadway and flipping over. Ksiazek died from his injuries Monday.
Two other people were hospitalized in the crash with injuries that were not life-threatening.
Police have said they do not suspect alcohol was involved in the crash. Whowell said police reached that conclusion because there was no strong odor of alcohol when Ksiazek was extricated from his vehicle or when he was treated at the hospital. But a spokeswoman for the Cook County medical examiner’s office said toxicology tests are being done to test for both alcohol and drugs in Ksiazek’s system. Results of toxicology tests can take three or four weeks.
