CHICAGO, IL (DDN) – A critical collision that occurred on Thursday evening in the Morgan Park area of Chicago resulted in the injuries of three Chicago Police officers and two citizens, causing the community of the Far South Side to be shaken.
Near Marshfield Plaza and close to Interstate 57, the crash took place at the intersection of 115th Street and Ashland Avenue.
An unmarked Chicago Police squad car had crashed with a wrought-iron fence, and one civilian vehicle was lying on its side as a result of the situation. The aftermath was striking. The airbags in the vehicle had deployed, and the collision caused the vehicle to just avoid colliding with a light post despite its deployment.

After further investigation, it was determined that these victims were the injured police officers. A total of two citizens were transported to the University of Chicago Medical Center for treatment.
