Two men were shot and two more were taken to the hospital after a shooting and a car crash on Interstate 57 Monday morning, according to the Illinois State Police.
According to police, two men, the driver of a silver sedan and a passenger in the back seat of the car, were shot while driving northbound on I-57 near 115th Street at 2:45 a.m.
The driver of the vehicle told police that a black Dodge Charger pulled up alongside the vehicle, and the driver of that car opened fire on the silver sedan, hitting two of the car's occupants.
After the shots were fired, a car rear-ended the silver sedan, according to eyewitness reports.
