A man and woman were ejected from the vehicle, police say

One man died and a woman suffered critical injuries in a police chase overnight that ended in a crash in the northern suburbs.

Skokie police chased a silver 2000 Pontiac reported stolen in Glenview through several suburbs.

The chase ended when the Pontiac slammed into two parked cars in the 5900 block of North Lincoln Avenue around 1:30 a.m. Wednesday in Morton Grove.

A man and woman were ejected from the car. It remains unclear who was behind the wheel, a Morton Grove police official told the Chicago Tribune. 

The accident shot debris into the China Chef restaurant, breaking a window, police said. 

The man was pronounced dead at Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge, and the woman was in critical condition, according to police.
