5 injured, including 2 CPD officers, in crash on Dan Ryan Expressway near 31st Street
CHICAGO (CBS)-- Two Chicago police officers were among five people injured in a crash on the Dan Ryan Expressway on the South Side early Monday morning, and the driver who caused the crash has been cited for driving under the influence.
Illinois State Police said a 2014 GMC Acadia was headed north on the Dan Ryan near 31st Street around 3:45 a.m., when it rear-ended a Chicago Police Department squad car, causing the squad car to hit a 2008 Jeep Compass, which then hit a concrete dividing wall.
Two officers in the squad car were taken to a hospital with minor injuries, as was the driver of the GMC Acadia, and the driver and passenger from the Jeep Compass.
The driver of the Acadia, 36-year-old Dwayne Harvey, of Gary, Indiana, has been cited for driving under the influence, driving on a suspended license, driving without insurance, failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident, improper lane usage, following too closerly, and not wearing a seat belt.
