The bus crashed into three trucks on an exit ramp to a rest area outside St. Louis.
A 34-year-old New Jersey man was one of three people killed in a crash involving a Greyhound bus and three tractor-trailers in Illinois early Wednesday, authorities said.
Four people were flown to hospitals with injuries, while another 10 were taken by ambulance following the crash shortly before 2 a.m. near the Silver Lake Rest Area in Madison County, Illinois State Police said. The vehicle was equipped with cameras facing both inward and outward, and the video will be analyzed, National Transportation Safety Board member Tom Chapman said. He added that the 2014-model bus had seatbelts.
Parking spots are at a premium in public rest areas, and truckers often park along exit ramps at night. The practice is illegal in Illinois and many other states, but police often ignore it, understanding the shortage of places for overnight truck parking.
