Several inmates have filed a lawsuit after a McHenry County Jail prisoner transport bus crashed in Hainesville, leaving the driver unconscious and sending 19 people to the hospital, last year.
The McHenry County Sheriff’s Office said the bus was transporting the inmates to the McHenry County Jail in Woodstock when it became involved in a crash at Route 120 and Hainesville Road in Hainesville.
The bus was occupied by two McHenry County correctional officers, 15 Lake County Jail inmates being housed in the McHenry County Jail and one McHenry County Jail inmate, according to Lake County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Chief Christopher Covelli.
All of the ambulances transporting the inmates were followed by either Grayslake police officers or Lake County sheriff’s deputies, Covelli said.
The inmates were in custody at the hospital and under the supervision of Lake County sheriff’s deputies and corrections officers, McHenry County sheriff’s corrections officers or Grayslake police officers.
