DUI Driver Injured Two Cops
- Three people, including two Chicago police officers, were injured Sunday in a traffic crash in Austin on the West Side. About 12:40 a.m., the officers were southbound in an unmarked SUV in the 400 block of Central Avenue responding to a call with their “emergency equipment engaged,” Chicago police said. They were struck by a 26-year-old man in a Chrysler sedan westbound on Race Avenue.
The Chrysler hit the SUV at the intersection, causing the police vehicle to strike a light pole, police said. Both officers were taken to Stroger Hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Their conditions were stabilized. The driver of the Chrysler was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital where his condition was stabilized, police said.
Alcohol appears to be a factor in the crash, and the driver will be issued a citation, police said.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Please be careful.
Heal well and fully our LEO brothers
The driver will be issued a citation? How about locking his dumb ass up?
Prayers for a flawless recovery. Enjoy your time away from the community.
Thrilled you weren't severely injured.
Many blessings.
In the science of an all so common example of community calamity, blame always goes to the police.
No license, no insurance, no income, no prospects, no nuffin.
Aimless, distracted, fleeing something or another.
Cook Co DUI friendly repeat offender back at the crib right now.
Tort Reform Restorative Justice.
Huh-wuh?
City can’t be sued.
County can’t be sued.
Chrysler won’t be sued.
Old English won’t be sued.
I’m sure some pre-legal J-BWeed consumption won’t be brought up.
Dedicated Leapin’Laar BlightLoafer COPA agents/s will uncover the troof and find a way to show the polices didn’t de-accelerate the situation in a manner that represents the community they serve (i.e. Acted Stupidly™️).
But cars are not dangerous weapons.
Why didn’t they lock this guy up for a DUi
I O D, Enjoying you’re Summer Crime Fighting Chicago Finests take it easy don’t rush back.
They never learn. No lights or sirens nothin happening in community service and really h speeding to. Only exception would be officer down.
Obey all traffic laws and lights. What’s the hurry. By the time you get there anyway the damage will be done. Just st show in one to fill out report. Nothing more needed unless it is on home turf.
Yea, they said on the news he was drunk but he gets a citation??? DUI requires a cb#. Something is not right.

You actually trust the media to get the facts correct?
Relax everyone, he WAS arrested. The news will never say that. Do you really think we wouldn't do OUR job appropriately? Remember, it is the courts that fail us, not us!
