Antioch man dies in crash involving Central school bus Three students suffer minor injuries, school said
EDITOR
An Illinois man is dead and three Westosha Central High School students inside a school bus suffered minor injuries after a Friday morning crash in the 24500 block of Wilmot Road. The crash happened when the bus carrying 19 children stopped to pick up a student along its route around 7 a.m. As the student sat down, a van reportedly driven by a 21-year-old Antioch man traveling westbound rear-ended the bus, which in turn, killed him. He was pronounced dead at the scene by the Kenosha County Medical Examiner. “From the pictures I have seen on the accident, it would appear that the van was traveling probably at the speeds of the road,” Sheriff David Beth said at a Friday afternoon news conference in Kenosha. The posted speed limit is 55 mph on Highway C, which closed between Highway 83 and 258th Avenue while authorities investigated the crash. “It was a work van, it had a granite or another countertop in the back of it,” Beth said. “It slide into the back of the bus, and the engine compartment went under the back bumper of the bus.” Along with Salem Lakes
Fire and Rescue, four other departments responded to the scene, where students received transportation to the fire station in Trevor. Meanwhile, as rescue personnel responded, Westosha Central immediately alerted parents of the crash and sent two faculty members to the fire station to offer support to students. “Our Associate Principal, Peter Haubrich and Guidance Counselor Keith Olsen were on site working with students and parents when parents came to pick up students at the fire station,” District Administrator Scott Pierce states in an email. Beth, whose daughter attends Westosha Central, but does not use the bus, said the crash triggered his parental instincts. “As soon as I heard it on the radio, the police senses and the parent senses kicked in,” he said. “My daughter goes to Central High School and shortly after the accident, parents got the call notification right away.” Beth credited the school’s response. Pierce said two of the 19 students involved in the crash reported to classes Friday. Pending notification of family, the identity of the driver has not been released.
Pass the crown
JUDE KAIDER Hi-Liter
Miss Antioch for 2016 Melissa Nettgen, 20, places the royal crown upon the head of Jessica Lamberty, 17, who was selected to be Miss Antioch for 2017, as 2016 Junior Miss Antioch Noelle Roskopf, 16, looks on during the annual pageant held at the Antioch Community High School, 1133 Main St., on Saturday, May 20. Jessica, a talented singer and performer in many local events, is no stranger to pageant victories. She was selected Junior Miss Antioch in 2012. Despite giving up her Antioch crown, Melissa continues down her royal road as Miss Lake County for 2017, the first Antioch resident to be awarded that title. Also chosen during the proceedings were the new Junior Miss Antioch, Adalia Tate, 15, and Little Miss Antioch for 2017, Adriana Thornton, 8. The pageant was held one month earlier than normal this year as auditorium construction is scheduled to take place at the school in June. The event was sponsored by the Parks and Recreation Department and the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
