Chicago Trucker Collides with Special Needs Bus in Ohio
A trucker from Chicago slammed into a bus carrying special needs adults in Springfield, Ohio, killing four and injuring eight more.
The truck’s driver, Zygmunt Wieckowski, 59, from Chicago was treated and released. He reportedly had three speeding tickets and some citations in the early 1990s, according to media reports. He had reportedly been driving for Highway Transport Chemical of Knoxville, Tennessee, for the last two years.
He was traveling on Interstate 70 on Thursday in the southwestern Ohio town, about 309 miles east of Dayton, when his truck crossed the median and collided with the bus. Some of those in the bus were in wheelchairs or restraints, according to reports.
It is a very tragic accident and the people in that area are mourning those who were very close.
