ROMEOVILLE, Ill. (STMW) – An Oak Forest man was killed and three other people were hurt in a head-on crash involving a Pace bus Wednesday morning in southwest suburban Romeoville, police said.
The three-vehicle crash involving two cars and a Pace bus happened about 9:10 a.m. at Renwick Road and Rankin Drive, police and fire officials said.
A Kia Rio traveling eastbound on Renwick Road crossed into the westbound lanes and hit the Pace Bus head-on, Romeoville police said in a release. The Kia then hit a Ford Fusion.
A 67-year-old man from Oak Forest had to be extricated from his vehicle, and was taken in serious condition to Provena Saint Joseph Medical Center in Joliet, authorities said. He was pronounced dead at 12:09 p.m., according to the Will County Coroner’s office.
The man’s name was withheld Wednesday pending notification of family.
Three other people — another driver, the driver of the Pace bus and a passenger from the Pace bus — were also hospitalized at Saint Joseph’s in good condition, Rossetto said. All were treated and released, police said.
Romeoville police are investigating the cause of the crash.
