Out of control party bus sideswipes 13 vehicles, charges pending against driver, 45
After reportedly sideswiping more than a dozen vehicles Saturday afternoon, a 45-year-old party bus driver was arrested by Chicago police in yet another example of party bus-related mayhem behind the city’s yearslong desire to call last call on party buses — and curb them for good.
Around 2:55 p.m. Saturday, the bus went careening south in the 3500 block of North Broadway, according to an online media notification from Chicago police. A video taken by an eyewitness shows the bus traveling erratically and slamming into parked cars — at one point nearly running head-on into the car from which the witness was filming, all as pedestrians shouted.
It wasn’t immediately clear whether anyone else was on the bus, and it wasn’t known whether the bus had been chartered that day. Police did not release the name of the 45-year-old driver or say with what they expected to charge him. Vehicle damage included shattered mirrors, flat tires, scrapes along car doors and bumper damage, according to published reports.
The party bus belonged to Black Label Limos, located in Valparaiso, Indiana, videos show. Black Label could not be reached for comment., as gun bans that apply to restaurants and bars don’t apply to vehicles, despite the fact the buses operate similarly to bars. Additionally, the city has had to crack down on illegal party bus operators in recent years.
