A home burglary in south suburban Country Club Hills started a police chase that ended with a four-vehicle crash in neighboring Hazel Crest early Thursday afternoon.
Country Club Hills police responded to a call of a burglary sometime after noon near 179th Street and Anthony Avenue, and began to chase a suspect vehicle, city spokeswoman Marge Seltzner said.
Neighbors reported the burglary, saying no one was home at the time, Seltzner said.
The vehicle — with at least three suspects riding in it — ran a red light at 175th Street and Kedzie Avenue in Hazel Crest, causing a crash involving a truck and two other cars, Seltzner said.
One person in the suspect vehicle had to be extricated and was airlifted to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, Seltzner said. Another suspect was taken in police custody to Advocate Christ Medical Center in an unidentified condition.
A third suspect is thought to be at-large, sources said.
Multiple people from the other vehicles were reportedly injured and taken to area hospitals, but no further details were available, Seltzner said.
Hazel Crest Police are investigating the crash and the area continues to be barricaded, Seltzner said.
The Hazel Crest Police and Fire departments could not immediately provide details.
Country Club Hills Police are also investigating.
