CHICAGO (AP) — A truck driver has been cited for negligent driving after ramming his semitrailer into a Chicago Transit Authority train station.

Chicago police say 64-year-old Donald Wells of Metamora, Michigan, received the traffic ticket Sunday.

Police say Wells could still face criminal charges in the crash Friday that killed two people and injured 21.

Wells was briefly hospitalized after his truck careered off an expressway. After his release, he was led away by police in handcuffs.
