More than 20 people were injured this morning when a vehicle rear-ended a No. 12 Roosevelt bus near the intersection of Roosevelt Rd. and Blue Island Ave (close to St. Ignatius College Prep). Over 15 bus passengers required medical attention, all from minor injuries according to a CTA spokeswoman. A Chicago Fire Dept. spokesman said a total of 23 people were reported in fair condition and one in serious-to-critical condition at the scene. Over a dozen ambulances were ready to take injured passengers to hospitals though exactly how many would require hospitalization is still unknown.
