Suit: Man lost leg after Pace bus crash

Updated: July 20, 2012 10:00PM



A man who had his right leg amputated below the knee after his car and a Pace bus collided in Lockport is suing the suburban bus service and one of its drivers.

William Hickey Jr. was driving north on Route 171 in Lockport when a southbound Pace bus made a left turn off Route 171 and hit his car, according to the suit filed Thursday in Cook County Circuit Court.

The two-count suit seeks $100,000 and court costs.

A spokesman for Pace declined to comment on the suit.
