Suenos Festival wrapping up nearby
CHICAGO (WLS) -- A CTA bus hit a 26-year-old woman Saturday night near Grant Park in the Loop, Chicago police said.
The bus side-swiped the woman just before 9:45 p.m. along East Ida B. Wells Drive, near Wabash Avenue, according to CPD and CTA officials.
Chicago fire crews took her to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in good condition, with a minor injury to her left shoulder, CPD said.
CPD initially said the bus was turning when it hit the woman, but CTA officials later said the bus was traveling west when the woman appeared to lose her balance and fall into the side of the bus.
The two-day Suenos Festival is bringing thousands to Grant Park this Memorial Day weekend. The event celebrates Latin culture, and was expected to conclude about 10 p.m. Saturday, according to its website.
