CHICAGO (AP) — Authorities say the driver of a speeding car who failed to stop for Chicago police caused a multi-vehicle crash, killing a 3-year-old boy and two men.
Chicago police say the driver fled on foot from the scene of Monday night's crash in the South Side's Englewood neighborhood that also injured a 2-year-old girl and two women. The driver is being sought.
