The driver of a a shuttle bus that crashed at O’Hare Airport Friday morning has died, the Cook County coroner confirmed.
The crash occurred on a ramp to Terminal 5 at the airport at about 2:30 a.m. The bus appeared to crash into a median, with the bus having heavy damage to its front.
CFD responded to the scene and found the driver, who was ejected from the crash. He was transported to Lutheran General Hospital in critical condition, CFD said. He later died.
It’s possible that he didn’t really need to work, but just that he enjoyed it and it gave him something to do.
But still, at 80, at 2:30 in the morning, he should not have been in charge of a bus, especially carrying passengers.
i have a coworker like that. hes in his 80s and just keeps working because he doesnt want to retire.
