A Barrington school district bus driver has been charged with a DUI after allegedly causing a crash in Deer Park, IL, the Lake County sheriff said.

LAKE COUNTY, Ill. -- A school bus driver has been charged with a felony DUI after allegedly causing a crash while students were onboard, the Lake County Sheriff's Office said.

Dolan was traveling northbound on Ela Road and made a left turn onto westbound Cuba Road, police said. Dolan failed to yield to oncoming traffic and made the turn in front of a southbound 2015 Chevrolet Traverse, driven by a 58-year-old Carpentersville man. The driver of the Traverse was unable to stop on the snow-covered road and struck the school bus.

Dolan requested to go to the hospital due to a medical issue and was subsequently transported to an area hospital.
