Chicago, IL — At least 4 adults were injured after a school bus, pick-up truck, and taxi collided Thursday evening at the busy intersection of Stony Island Avenue, 79th Street, and South Chicago Avenue.

According to police, the 34-year-old taxi driver was driving a taxi south on Stony Island Avenue. Meanwhile, the 53-year-old pick-up truck driver headed northwest on South Chicago Avenue. However, the private vehicle suddenly ran a red light and hit the taxi.
