The law firm of Miroballi, Durkin, & Rudin, LLC (MDR Law) and the law offices of Christopher Kennedy have filed suit in Lake County Circuit Court on behalf of four minor plaintiffs injured when their school bus crashed on April 5, near the intersection of Route 173 and Kilbourne Road near Wadsworth.
The school bus crashed while transporting about 35 students to Newport Elementary School.
The bus was headed westbound on Route 173 when it struck a Jeep Wrangler at the intersection of Kilbourne Road. The school bus rolled over onto its right side.
The children on the bus were removed through emergency doors on the roof of the bus as well as the rear door.
One of the minor plaintiffs was taken to Vista Medical Center in Waukegan and later transferred to Children’s Memorial Hospital with a closed head injury, right arm fracture, and multiple lacerations.
The other three minor plaintiffs were also taken by ambulance to local hospitals and treated for injuries.
