A vehicle crashed into a building and caused three balconies to collapse Tuesday morning in the Edgewater neighborhood on the North Side.

The vehicle hit the building shortly after 8 a.m. on Broadway near Hollywood, according to preliminary information from Chicago police.

Two people involved in the crash were taken to Saint Francis Hospital in Evanston in serious-to-critical condition, according to Fire Media Affairs spokesman Larry Merritt. No one inside the building was injured.

Three balconies could be seen collapsed from the building above Pop Hair Salon, 5642 N. Broadway, and an SUV with extensive damage was on the sidewalk.
