Overview
- Early Tuesday morning a Chicago Police Department squad car and a dark SUV collided at Division Street and Hamlin Avenue in the Humboldt Park neighborhood, closing the intersection for investigators.
- Chicago Fire Department and EMS crews transported four people to area hospitals with one patient described as critical and three listed as serious.
- On-scene video and aerial footage showed a squad car with heavy front-end damage and deployed airbags and captured two officers being loaded into an ambulance appearing to have minor injuries.
- Officials have not released a cause or detailed conditions for the officers and the investigation remains active with police processing the crash scene.
- Police-vehicle collisions typically trigger both traffic and internal administrative reviews, so reporting will likely focus next on official CPD statements, investigative findings, and hospital updates.
