Truck's roar shattered a routine Chicago day, ended 2 lives
Elosia Guerrero was heading home from a day of work at the luxury Sutton Place Hotel in downtown Chicago when the big truck shattered what had been an otherwise routine rush hour. The 47-year-old woman, who restocked mini-bars at the hotel, boarded a Chicago Transit Authority train to the South Side, got off in Chinatown and waited under the elevated tracks for a bus to take her home. That's when a tractor-trailer careered off a nearby expressway exit, plowed into the bus shelter and became lodged in a station stairwell, killing both Guerrero and 18-year-old high school student Delisia Brown. Twenty-one other people were injured. Brown and Guerrero, both from the South Side, were pronounced dead at the scene of Friday's crash, authorities said. Guerrero, a mother, was a longtime employee of the Sutton.
