A high-speed police pursuit through the streets of Chicago Wednesday ended on the South Side, with a black sedan weaving in and out of traffic and then crashing through a gate before winding up in a residential neighborhood as suspects got out of the car and fled on foot.
The chase, which started on Chicago’s West Side, continued for nearly 50 minutes, with Sky 5 reporter Mike Lorber capturing the scene as it unfolded.
“We have a high-speed, extremely dangerous pursuit here on the South Side of Chicago that has been going on for the better part of a half hour,” Lorber said at one point.
After the vehicle plowed through a gate, it entered an industrial area near 71st and Pulaski, where three people exited and fled on foot, sparking a manhunt for suspects near 69th and Kedvale.
The vehicle exceeded 100 mph at points, traveling on the Dan Ryan and Lake Shore Drive, at times going the wrong direction as a police helicopter also followed it.
The chase sparked a crash at 47th and Lake Park before continuing on, driving on the sidewalk to evade police. It side-swiped moving vehicles and nearly causing numerous crashes along the way.
“It has driven in the wrong direction on Lake Shore Drive and other streets. It drove on the sidewalk in Bridgeport at 39th by the Dan Ryan, almost striking a Chicago police officer. This is a very, very dangerous situation,” Lorber said.
Initially, the vehicle was being tracked by a police helicopter, but police began chasing the vehicle after it caused crashes and dangerous situations, with alerts reporting the suspects inside are “armed and dangerous.”
Several police officers and squad cars were seen flooding the scene near where the occupants of the vehicle fled on foot. A police K9 was also brought in amid the manhunt.
Dozens of squad cars could be seen responding to the area as officers searched for suspects throughout at a residential area.
It was not immediately clear why police were chasing the vehicle, but footage appeared to show at least one person being taken into custody. A second masked individual was also seen being placed in handcuffs several minutes later.
It was not known if either person was connected to the vehicle involved in the chase, however.
