Eight people were taken to hospitals after a vehicle and a CTA bus collided Monday morning in the South Side Chatham neighborhood.

Eight people, all adults, were taken to hospitals from the crash, according to Fire Media Affairs.

One person was taken in serious-to-critical condition to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, according to Fire Media. Seven others in fair-to-serious condition were taken to South Shore Hospital, Trinity Hospital, University of Chicago Hospital and Jackson Park Hospital.
