After a horrific crash involving a car and a CTA bus that killed four people and injured five others, eyewitnesses are speaking out about the chaotic scene on Chicago’s West Side. The car, which was speeding, hit a parked vehicle before it veered out of control into the oncoming Chicago Transit Authority bus at around 6 a.m. on the city's west side, said Officer Michelle Tannehill, a police spokeswoman. A CTA bus was traveling eastbound on Madison St. when a white sedan traveling westbound at a high rate of speed collided with a parked car and lost control, hitting the bus head on, according to police. The bus driver and four passengers were taken to hospitals with non-life threatening injuries, another police spokesman, Officer Michael Carroll, said later Sunday. CTA spokeswoman Catherine Hosinski say the crash happened at the intersection of Madison Street and Talman Avenue. As a result of the crash, the #20 Madison bus was rerouted for several hours in both directions around the scene, the CTA said.
