CHICAGO — Five people were injured in a car crash early this morning in the Portage Park neighborhood on the city’s Northwest Side.

A 24-year-old woman was driving westbound on Irving Park Road just west of Cicero around 3 a.m. when she struck a parked vehicle and drove into a light pole.

One adult male passenger and three children were inside the vehicle and suffered non life-threatening injuries, according to the fire department.

Police say charges are pending against the driver and alcohol appears to have been a factor.

Traffic on Irving Park has resumed and is moving in all directions since the accident.
