WGN TV: A look at limo safety in Illinois after deadly NY crash

CHICAGO (October 15, 2018) – After 20 people were killed in a New York state limousine accident, the rest of the nation was left to wonder: Could it happen again?

The limousine driver was reportedly traveling too fast on a treacherous road, but that is only half the story. He didn’t have a commercial driver’s license, either. In Illinois, that license is required for vehicles transporting 16 or more people and weighing more than 26,000 pounds.
