Two suspects were killed and four Chicago Police officers were injured in a fiery rollover crash following a chase Friday morning on the city's Far South Side.
The crash happened just before 11:15 a.m. at 125th and Union in the city's West Pullman neighborhood, marking a deadly end to a chase that began in a Chicago suburb.
Police allege the suspects were involved a robbery outside an Arby's restaurant in southwest suburban Tinley Park. According to authorities, a restaurant manager making a cash drop at the neighboring bank was confronted in the parking lot.
The suspects took the money bag and fled.
State police reported the vehicle on I-57 as the suspects headed into the city.
Witnesses say they saw a Chicago Police SUV chasing the vehicle before it rear-ended the suspects' car. The crash flipped the suspects' car and sent the SUV slamming into a nearby home, mangling an elderly couple's wheelchair ramp.
Four suspects were initially injured, but two listed in critical condition were later pronounced dead, Chicago Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said. The other two remained in police custody.

Four officers in a police squad car were also injured in the crash, but their conditions were stabilized, Guglielmi said.
"Thank God I'm alive," said Michael Wells, who owns the home hit by the SUV. "I'm a disabled veteran. God is merciful. I could have been dead."
One of the suspects killed in the crash was identified as 22-year-old Ronald Harrington, who lived near the crash.
