School bus hits car before crashing into home in Dunning

CHICAGO (CBS) -- A woman was hospitalized after a school bus crashed into a house in the Dunning neighborhood on Wednesday morning.

Police said a 63-year-old man was driving the bus on the 6000 block of West Waveland Avenue around 8:20 a.m., when he hit a parked car and a utility pole before crashing into a house.

A 43-year-old woman who was a passenger on the bus was taken to Community First Hospital with neck pain. Her condition was stabilized.

The crash caused significant damage to the home, and police said one person was left temporarily homeless.

David Feller said he heard the crash and thought it was a landscaper working next door until a neighbor told him a school bus had hit his car and then crashed into a house.

"My first concern was if my neighbor was all right because usually they're outside working on the lawn or sitting on the porch there, and thank God they weren't there at the time," Feller said.

No citations had been issued to the driver as of late Wednesday morning.
