A 15- year- old boy was killed and four other people were injured when a stolen vehicle crashed into a Pace bus Friday night in south suburban Dolton.

Dolton police responded about 10: 30 p. m. to the crash at Sibley Boulevard and Wentworth Avenue, according to Dolton police.

A 2005 Chevrolet Aveo reported stolen out of Indiana was heading east on Sibley when it lost control and crossed into the opposite lane, crashing into the Pace bus near Wentworth, police said.

Phoenix police officers told Dolton police that the vehicle was fleeing from an attempted traffic stop somewhere on 6th Avenue in the south suburb, police said. It was unclear whether the pursuit had continued up to the crash.

Fifteen- year- old Jamal Williams, who was in the front passenger seat of the Chevrolet, died at Ingalls Memorial Hospital in Harvey. He lived in south suburban Harvey.

A 15- year- old boy who was driving the Chevrolet was taken to Ingalls for treatment and was in custody at the Dolton police station.

A 15- year- old boy in the Chevrolet’s rear passenger seat was in serious condition, and an 18- year- old man also in the rear passenger seat had non- life threatenin­g injuries, police said.

A 59- year- old woman who was driving the Pace bus was in serious condition, police said.
