DOWNS, Sick. (AP) — Government say a semitrailer in Illinois has collided with a faculty bus wearing contributors of a highschool basketball staff.

The Pantagraph reviews that one particular person was once killed and a number of other others have been injured, some seriously, and brought to hospitals after the crash Wednesday night time on Interstate 74 close to Downs in central Illinois. Information about their prerequisites weren’t straight away recognized.

A faculty district spokeswoman, Dayna Brown, informed the newspaper there have been 11 folks at the bus. They integrated scholars who play at the Commonplace West Prime College ladies basketball staff.

Commonplace West athletic director Stan Lewis stated the staff was once coming back from a recreation at a highschool in Champaign.

Brown stated Commonplace West will probably be open as same old Thursday, with counselors readily available.
