CHICAGO – Two Chicago Police officers and another man were injured in a crash early Sunday morning on the city’s Northwest Side.

Officers tried to make a traffic stop just after 1 a.m. near North Long Avenue and West Belmont Avenue but the driver of the cargo van sped off as the officers walked up to the van.

The van then reportedly ran a nearby red light and slammed into another Police SUV before crashing into two parked cars and a light pole.

The driver of the van was critically injured and taken to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center.

Four other men who were passengers in the van were not injured.

They were arrested at the scene but let go a short time later.

Charges are pending against the van’s driver.

The officers sustained non-life-threatening injuries and were taken to a local hospital for treatment.
