Two in Custody After Cicero Traffic Stop Leads to Chicago Crash That Injures Driver, Hits Pedestrian

Police used a tracking device after a Cicero traffic stop, leading Chicago officers to a sedan now under a stolen-vehicle investigation.

Overview

  • A blue sedan was stopped in Cicero for tinted windows around 3:30 p.m., then the driver fled after initially pulling over.
  • Cicero police declined a pursuit, deployed a tracking device, and alerted Chicago police to the vehicle’s location.
  • CPD says the westbound sedan collided with a northbound black pickup at Madison Street and Oakley Avenue on the Near West Side.
  • The pickup’s 57-year-old driver suffered serious injuries and was taken to Stroger Hospital, and a pedestrian was also struck with no condition released.
  • Two people were taken into custody after fleeing on foot, including a person Cicero identified as a known gang member, and the sedan’s temporary Indiana plates prompted a stolen-vehicle probe.
