		</div><p>Three people were killed and 14 others injured, some seriously, when a Greyhound bus crashed into three stationary lorries in southern Illinois early on Wednesday, police said.</p>
<p>Illinois State Police said an initial investigation indicated that the bus had been travelling westbound along Interstate 70 in Madison County at around 1.55am when it collided with the tractor-trailers, which were parked on the exit ramp to the Silver Lake Rest Area.</p>
<p>Four people were taken to hospital by helicopter and at least 10 others by ambulance, state police said in a news release.</p>
<p>They did not immediately release details about those who were injured and killed.</p>
<p>No-one in the three trucks was injured in the crash, which happened near the city of Highland about 25 miles (40km) east of St Louis, police said.</p>
<p>State police spokeswoman Melaney Arnold said all those killed and injured were on the Greyhound bus but she did not know if the bus driver was among the casualties.</p>
<p>The I-70 was closed to westbound traffic after the incident.</p>
<p>The National Transportation Safety Board will send a team to investigate the crash, the agency said.</p>
<p>Television footage of the scene showed the badly damaged right front portion of the bus wedged into the rear of a tractor-tractor.</p>
<p>A second tractor-trailer appeared to have made contact with the right rear of the bus, while a third tractor-trailer appeared to have crashed into the rear of that second.</p>
<p>The roof of the bus was crumpled.</p>
<p>Greyhound spokesman Mike Ogulnick told the St Louis Post-Dispatch in an email that the bus had been travelling from Indianapolis to St Louis, where it was scheduled to arrive at about 2.20am.</p>
<p>It was carrying about 30 people, including the driver, he said.</p>
<p>Mr Ogulnick said: “Our primary concern is ensuring we care for our passengers and driver at this time.</p>
<p>“We are working closely with local authorities and a relief bus is on the way for passengers.”</p>
