Driver recounts fatal Megabus crash
CHICAGO (MCT) — The Megabus that pulled out of Chicago had a 25-year-old rookie behind the wheel with so little experience that he still had his trainer riding along with him.
But when a front tire blew and the bus careened out of control Aug. 2 on Interstate 55, he did all he could to handle the situation, even though the bus hit a concrete pillar, killing one passenger and injuring dozens, according to Illinois State Police investigators.
