A semi driver was killed and his 11-year-old daughter and two other people were injured when the truck hit a car and then slammed into a home in south suburban Calumet City, authorities said.
The accident occurred just before midnight Thursday near Torrence Avenue and Michigan City Road. No one inside the home was injured, but a man and a woman in the car were hurt, in addition to the girl in the truck. All of the injuries were minor,
Richard Perkins said his 18-year-old son and 20-year-old daughter were returning home from Bible study when the semi drifted into oncoming traffic.
It tried to veer back into his own lane, but Perkins said the semi struck their car before skidding into the home and turning on its side.
"God must have been with them," Richard Perkins told WGN-TV this morning.
Calumet City police declined to release any
details. The Suburban Major Accident Reconstruction Team was assisting in
investigating the crash, officials said.
