At least one suspect in custody after a police chase that crisscrossed the city of Chicago on Wednesday night.
During the chase, the suspect’s vehicle weaved in and out of traffic and got on and off the Kennedy Expressway multiple times, according to helicopter video.
At one point during the chase, the Jeep exited the interstate and crashed into a police vehicle near Irving Park Road and Ashland. According to scanner traffic, one suspect was taken into custody, but the other suspect escaped on foot.
