Three people were taken into custody and Illinois State Police were investigating after a suburban police chase that stemmed from a potential armed kidnapping incident ended with a major crash late Monday night at a busy intersection in Chicago's Logan Square neighborhood.
Around 10:45 p.m., ISP located a vehicle involved in a possible armed kidnapping traveling in the southbound lanes of I-94/Edens Expressway, just north of the Dundee Exit in Northbrook, officials said.
According to ISP, a traffic stop was attempted but the driver failed the stop, leading to a police pursuit that traversed Chicago streets.
The pursuit ended around 11:15 p.m. at the intersection of Milwaukee and Diversey Avenues in the city's Logan Square neighborhood, when the driver struck another vehicle, ISP said.
Minor injuries were reported, ISP added.
According to officials, three people ran from the vehicle being pursued, but were all taken into custody a short time later. They were also taken to nearby hospitals with non-life threatening injuries, ISP said.
