Driver of party bus that rammed into 13 vehicles in Lakeview facing charges
Gregory Baldwin, 45, of Valparaiso, Indiana, is charged with one felony count of criminal damage to government property, one misdemeanor count of reckless driving and one misdemeanor count of leaving the scene. He was also cited with failure to reduce speed and disregarding a traffic control light, police said. Baldwin's employer claims police determined he was not impaired at the time of the crash.
It was around 3 p.m. Saturday when the driver of the party bus was seen zig zagging southbound on Broadway near Addison, sideswiping 13 cars, according to the Chicago Police Department. Those vehicles sustained scrapes, bumper damage and broken windows. No one was injured in the incident, but witnesses told CBS 2 they were confused and fearful for their safety.
